ZINE LAUNCH ft. MICALEF AND CAVA
Come n have a drink with us at the Anarchist Festival and enjoy poems from one of our fave radicals (n former Sniffin’ Glue editor) Steve Micalef as we celebrate our 11th issue, The Blonde Beast…

The era of mysticism is upon us. On both sides of the Atlantic, the rise of the Blonde Beast has caused alarm bells to sound. La Bouche, dizzied by the carnage left in its trail, sets out to capture the spirit of the times, with our take on mysticism and protest. The inspiration began with a chance encounter in Venice with a Jesus cameo, who we interviewed in situ, before he strode off upon the Grand Canal. We also share the work of punk poet Micalef, who is busy bringing the spirit of William Blake to resist the Beast at anti-fascist London demos. BUT whilst every activist we know takes to the streets, our in house conspiracy theorist questions whether the blonde beast is pure mythology, a distraction created by the real villains, the elite. All this AND we FaceTime Artist Taxi Driver AND drop by at an abandoned spy station in Western Berlin for some iconic rituals. Moving on to political affairs, we take a look at the use of history in the ongoing battle for the holy land and we share some personal anecdotes for those engaged in their own personal act of protest, be that Mandy Geritt and her critique of Vatican scandal or our Ace friend Brigit who is in some way making a protest against the concept of gender itself. In the “Trump-Brexit” era where the commentariat seem to have no idea “WTF is going on?” La Bouche’s soothsayers look into their crystal balls and try to use their clairvoyance to delve into the mysterious factors at play in our world in our latest edition, Mysticism and Protest.
