The WoodenGun Story....

Once upon a time back in the 1930's, John Dillinger was locked in a cell for one of his many crimes but managed to get a piece of wood shaped and painted to look like a gun smuggled into his cell. The guard knew he couldn't have got a weapon into his cell but his energy, his vibe convinced the guard to open the door and let him escape. With music we can do this too. We can come together under a song or a groove, we can convince the powers that be that we mean business.

We believe that music can once again be a force for good, a force for change - music has become unpoliticised, scared of making a statement. We want to go back to a time when musicians were political speakers and music was a catalyst of change...the guitar a wooden gun, a non-violent weapon that could change the minds and lives of millions of people; that could change the world without any death or brutality. As Woody Guthrie wrote across his guitar: "This machine kills fascists".
