SUMMARY:VAGUE AND THE IMPORTANCE OF ANARCHO-PUNK FANZINES: with Tom Vague and Tony D (Ripped And Torn/Kill Your Pet Puppy) hosted by MayDay Rooms
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate the publication\, by PC-Press (www.pc-press.co.uk) of a brand new compendium ‘Vague Fanzines Book\, Vol. 1: 1979-1984: Issues 1-15’\, which lovingly reproduces the first 15 issues of Vague in A4-sized full colour\, we welcome to Housmans Tom Vague in discussion with Tony D\, to talk about the impact Vague had\, and also on anarcho-punk zine culture more widely. \n\n\n\nVague was a fanzine that tuned so many people on to the joy of punk and the futuristic and hybrid styled music that followed it\, that became known as ‘Post-Punk’ or for a period of time ‘Positive Punk’. Vague promoted the notion that a band meant something more than the music and that meaning could be shared amongst like-minded folk\, the ‘lovable spikey tops’ or the like-minded ‘tribe’ that people were looking for. Vague though was critical enough to see through the growing number of punk bands who were seduced by the world of popstardom and teen adulation. \n\n\n\nThat disillusion often turned into a searching for the counter culture\, or philosophy and radical politics\, to find something that could inspire us to be different and to change the world around us. Vague became the go to critical counter cultural fanzine that still found music irresistible but wasn’t just a fawning FAN zine. Vague also importantly had a sense of humour\, it could laugh at itself as well as brag about how good it was and slag off those it found wanting! \n\n\n\nTom Vague\, the long-running editor of Vague\, will be joined by Tony D\, the man behind the classic punk zines Ripped and Torn\, and also Kill Your Pet Puppy. The event will be hosted by MayDay Rooms\, whose archival work celebrates and preserves radical print cultures and DIY Independent publishing house PC-Press who have published Vague volume 1 and also books about Test Dept\, Massive Attack\, Killing Joke\, NSK State and a Post-punk novel; Looking For A Kiss by Richard Cabut. \n\n\n\nThe event will be hosted by MayDay Rooms\, whose archival work celebrates and preserves radical print cultures. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShare this:\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on Insta (Opens in new window)\n				Insta\n			Like this:Like Loading…

SUMMARY:LAUNCH: 'Deeping It: Colonialism\, Culture & Criminalisation of UK Drill' by Adèle Oliver
DESCRIPTION:We are very excited to welcome Adèle Oliver to celebrate the London launch of her vital\, erudite and exacting book ‘Deeping It: Colonialism\, Culture & Criminalisation of UK Drill’. Adèle will be joined by fellow members of the Art Not Evidence group\, a brand new charity launching this month.  \n\n\n\nArt Not Evidence is a new coalition comprising senior lawyers\, journalists\, academics\, youthworkers\, music industry professionals\, and human rights campaigners. Their mission is to fight for a fairer criminal justice system by advocating for a restriction on the use of creative and artistic expression as evidence in criminal trials. They believe that art\, including music\, should be protected as a fundamental form of freedom of expression and should not be used to unfairly implicate individuals in criminal charges. \n\n\n\n The main focus of the discussion will be Adèle’s book ‘Deeping It’ an analysis of drill’s fight against moral panic and its fraught relationship with the police and political authority in the UK\, exemplified by constant censorship\, racism\, and moments such as when a drill duo became the first people in British legal history to receive a prison sentence for simply performing a song. Policing\, policy and criminalization are the cornerstones of colonial suppression; art\, self-expression and collective action are beacons of resistance. Deeping It places drill firmly in the latter category\, tracing its production and criminalization across borders and eras of the British Empire\, exploring drill’s artistic singularity but also its inherent threat as a Black artform in a world that prioritizes whiteness. Intervening on this discourse steeped in anti-Blackness\, this Inkling ‘deeps’ how the criminalization of UK drill cannot be disentangled from histories\, technologies\, and realities of colonialism and consumerism. \n\n\n\nThere are free tickets available. If you are unable to pay for a ticket please contact shop@housmans.com. \n\n\n\nIf you choose book + event entry\, your copy of the book will be available to collect on the evening. If you would like to collect it earlier\, or have it delivered\, please contact us (postage is £2.95). Telephone 020 7837 4473 or email shop@housmans.com. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShare this:\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on Insta (Opens in new window)\n				Insta\n			Like this:Like Loading…
