10 Riot Songs: Live at the Candahar is a unique hybrid of audio document and artist project by Brady Cranfield and Kathy Slade. Published by the Presentation House Gallery, this 12-inch red vinyl LP captures a high-energy performance held at “The Candahar,” a pub-installation created by artist Theo Sims as a social space during the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. The album features ten covers of seminal punk tracks by bands such as The Clash, D.O.A., and Dead Kennedys, all centered on the theme of riots. Edited by Reid Shier and featuring text by Eileen Myles, the record serves as a critical intervention into the sanitized atmosphere of the Olympics, investigating the history of sub-cultural resistance and the enduring power of politicized noise.
