Before twitter started purging us, we made a twitter account for ourselves to release the #BannedInUSA album. After twitter purged all of independent media accounts from occupy on Oct 11, we decided not to use twitter... it is at @banned_usa@twitter.com - The suspension notice that is.
Twitter tracked down our account that NEVER tweeted and banned it. #Censored

On Dec 22 we were supposed to play live via livestream in #NYC - it did not happen. We sent the signal but it was not picked up... its a whole story we will tell later. but for now watch, this share this, for we are censored. Send it to your congressmen and senators. Show it to your friends.
We might be banned, censored and exiled from USA, but we still speak truth to power
The performance itself is not just us performing the songs we wrote, but also involves you, the audience we hope will come and participate with us.
During our show, we intend to build a wall in the space, to be destroyed by you, for all have to come together to destroy these walls that censor us, these walls that imprison us, these walls that exclude us.
Here is the announcement from @hdys

This Saturday, dec 22, we will be doing a premiere of our first album #BannedInUSA. Since @nikkyschiller is banned, and I am in exile we wont be there physically, but working together with AnarkoArtLab we are participating in Non Grata's Diverse Universe NYC '18 • Performance Festival - performing live via livestream.

Anarkoartlab, active for the last 13 years is am international group and network of artists from different medias and backgrounds. The group creates temporary creative spaces where, mutual artists collaboration and participation and integration of public directly into the process are used to unlock moments of collective creation.
The two perfomances are meant to interact with each other, to enhance each others message and content, and to make audience part of this experience of forced bans, censorship and separation, as well as to empower them that these walls can indeed be broken.
The perfomance of #BannedInUsa will be broadcast on one of the walls of the space in real time directly from Madrid, while AnarkoArtLab will be creating a virtual wall inside the space separating the audience into 2 separate groups just like our borders and walls do now... The Audience will partipate in creation and ultumate destruction of this wall together with the participating artists.
The Perfomance itself is the first premiere of a new album called #BannedInUSA, a musical mediation on our common human identity and how it trumps identity defined by walls, prisons, borders, racism, nativism and nationalism and all the other isms.
The livestream perfomance in collaboration with AnarkoArtLab breaks through this wall of censorship, breaks through the borders that are being used to ban more than half of the humanity from US, and empowers HDYS to perform directly in front of a NYC audience they are BANNED from speak with.
HDYS is a music group formed by Nikky Schiller, Vlad Teichberg and Big Toxic to talk about the concepts of global human identity, morality and justice in the current world, and also as a vehicle to tell the artists story after they have been banned by travelling to USA by US govt, censored across social networks, and even targeted with open ended "investigations", detentions and harassment by US intelligence services for promoting the ideas of global human equality.

Last night, even though we are #BannedByUSA we were able to collaborate with @AdrianaVarella@facebook.com in her performance art piece at Grace Exhibition Space. Adriana used We The People in her commentary about the gassing at the southern US border that happened a week ago.
We are grateful for people in US who are working with us to break down the walls of censorship and oppression.
