Great find, so happy to get this.Thanks for the heads up fed. I experienced the battle of the beanfield first hand. I was only 12 at the time, but have unforgettable memories of that day. At the time, I suppose I was young and naive, but looking back it was fuckin horrendous. I still have vhs tapes of all the news footage at the time. Some of the things I witnessed will never be erased from my memory.
Also spent most of my weekends in the early 90's somewhere in fields in the west country at Circus warp Diy and spiral tribe parties. Thanks for posting this, just hope I don't come across pics of me fooked out my head.

Every full moon we'd be off to anywhere to catch up with a party & join in on the fun. It developed into the rave scene and culminated at Castlemorten when they mistakenly mentioned it on a news item & then the whole world wanted to play. Days of acid & globalhypercolour tshirts. You still get my condolences for the beanfield. |

I remember turning up at Lechlade and met an old mate from school with one of them huge camcorders on his shoulder filming everything. At the time, I thought he was a twat, but it would be fuckin great to see some of that footage now. 91 and 92 seemed to go on forever. I don't remember a lot, but they were the best years of my life, amazing times and no regrets. |

JUST 3 DAYS LEFT... As we speak Exist To Resist is just 3 people short of 500 backers... Since we launched the project the book hit its funding target of £12,000 in just 9 days...since then it has been featured by many of the UKs most respected local and national media organisations and as far away as Australia, America and Japan... None of this would have happened with out YOU! It is your support that has made Exist To Resist a reality, and we want to say a huge THANK YOU to each and every one of you who has helped to MAKE HISTORY. But you are not on your own...and we would like to share this recommendation with you... "Matthew Smith's photographs are a unique documentary resource of protest and counterculture of the late 1980s and 1990s. Right at the heart of it all, he captures the mood on the ground and let's the viewer re-live and experience the moment and events as they unfold. In a time before internet and social media, this is an exceptional collection of photographs which will offer any serious investigator of these events and times a new and honest perspective of events." Ramona Riedzewski...Senior Collections Manager...The Victoria & Albert Museum So please, over the next few days...Keep liking....Keep sharing...Keep emailing the link to your friends: kck.st/2kbicc4We are already in conversation with a major promoter about creating a 10 day immersive launch show...And with every new investment in the project we are getting closer to bringing the feature film to the big screen... We now have a final version of the cover in place...and a fantastic new designer to take the book through its final stages into print...click on the picture to see his work.  But as ever...we are saving the best news until last...and after an invitation to attend a meeting over last weekend we can now confirm that Exist To Resist will have a foreward written by the most significant creator of festival culture in history...none other than Glastonbury Founder and CEO Michael Eavis... There are still many great rewards available, and over 500 copies of the book left in stock, even though we have now completely SOLD OUT of the 300 Early Bird Discount copies of Exist To Resist... So stay tuned...keep in touch...and please make the most of the next 3 days...please help get the word out there! |

Mine arrived today and it's great!
Seems like such a quality book and packed full of pics. I was too young to be involved in that scene but work with a few people who were well into it! Gonna spend a while with them seeing if they're in any pics.
The blue on first page is also a beautiful colour!
So pleased to of been able to help in my own small way for this book to exist

London book launch this Friday - The Subculture Archives 3 Carnaby Street Have fun fellas www.facebook.com/events/200768440451985Join us for a book launch and signing for Exist To Resist by Matthew Smith, at The Subculture Archives, 3 Carnaby Street. Expect drinks, music and a talk by Matthew himself. Exist to Resist is a social history book by Matthew Smith born out of a love for UK's rave, sound system, and festival culture. It is a photographic celebration of community gathering and grass roots democratic activism in images made between 1989 and 1997. In the early 1990s, the UK Government finally decided to legislate against the popularity of raves, protest, free parties and festivals after over a decade of targeting that social phenomenon for persecution. After over a decade and a half of Conservative government a great culture of resistance and opposition had arisen and become embedded within British society. Acid house and rave served as the musical soundtrack that united all of those disparate sub-cultural tribes in one mission; to gather, dance and celebrate together for free. It is now 23 years since Government acted to prohibit and enclose that cultural freedom in law and it is time to tell that story from the inside. It is often said that history is written by the dominant forces in any particular situation, but with Kickstarter crowdfunding and digital social networking that is no longer the case. Help us bring Matt Smith's incredible archive into print and tell the unique story of British DIY protest and rave culture. |
