OUTERNATIONAL "SIR NO SIR" LIVE at ROCK AL PARQUE 2014

[outernationalband]

"The idea of Outernational is, many people just think because "oh because we mix up different styles of music in a rock & roll context" they think Outernational is just talking about that.  But the idea of Outernational is really trying to get people to lift their sights, you know their sights, where their looking to, not just what's literally in front of your eyeballs, but what you're setting your sights on and your lives and how you're thinking about the world. Trying to get people to set their sights on above and beyond the countries and divisions and the way the world is so stratified and screwed up.  So we're trying to get people to break on out of that mindset. Outernational, above and beyond the borders of today. We thought to be part of a larger revolutionary movement of people stepping on the scene to change the world, that it could really ruffle some feathers but even more than that really kinda help people feel different and start to see things different expose people to some different feelings and thoughts through a rock and roll band.  That's powerful.  It's not going to change the world, but it could change people that will change the world." - Miles Solay in Volted Magazine

Outernational on MTVIggy

Great profile on the band in MTV Iggy by Marlon Bishop. Some highlights:

"Both Solay and Mintek agree that the border tour really invigorated them about the band’s mission “The biggest lesson from the tour for me, is that a new generation of rebels and dreamers and fighters is emerging,” says Solay. “People really came out of the woodwork. They’re looking for another way. A lot of things have happened since last year, from the Occupy movement to the Arab Spring to the outrage over the death of Trayvon Martin.”"

"Solay, however, doesn’t stop there. His vision is much more grandiose – and why not?

“I hope that we not only have influence on people already out there doing good stuff, but I hope we’re able to kickstart a new culture of revolt against this revolting culture with thousands of bands and writers and actors,” he says. “ We’re not trying to go down this road by ourselves.”"
