The Milwaukee Molotov Marchers was conceived on an unusually warm spring night over beers at the Riverwest Public House. Following the revolutionary events at the Capitol in Madison, Wisconsin, we decided Milwaukee needed a radical marching band to make some f-ing noise at the amazing events taking place all over the state. Several members are union members whose collective bargaining rights were stripped by Scott Walker’s questionably legal Budget Repair Bill. We believe in creating music as a form of direct action that has the potential to bridge divides in the nation’s most geographically segregated urban city. We seek to commit “random acts of band” all over the city in order to break up the monotony of capitalism, have fun, and form relationships with other groups and cooperative businesses in Milwaukee. We conceive of ourselves as a creative outlet for folks of all abilities and walks of life to get together and make some noise.
