I spoke to Cheap Dirty Horse in Nottingham, England while on the A Day Without Horse Tour.

This tour was special for many reasons, but this was also my first non US interview in person!

I spoke to Fin, Lou, Amy and Ellen about the formation of the band, the values of community, reacting to internet trolls, and the importance of punk in today's late stage capitalistic society.

Find out more on today's episode of Dreams Not Memes and check out their tunes!

Bio

Cheap Dirty Horse are a big rowdy queer trash folk-punk band from Nottingham. Blending acoustic and electric guitar with banjo, accordion, bass, drums, and sometimes mandolin, they write energetic, joyful protest music. They sing about trans rights, dead billionaires, and the importance of doing the things you love. They sing about grief, washing machines, and stealing shit.

Yorko vendors across Massachusetts and has ambitions of spreading art, joy and community through the messages of her art across the New England area.

Her art centers around destigmatizing raunchy and taboo topics and getting people to feel seen. Listen to our episode today on Dreams Not Memes.
