Join us to celebrate the publication of Killed (of Kids) a book about the band Huggy Bear, written by the five members of the band. There will be readings from the book, activities, and DJ sets by members of the band.
Huggy Bear were a UK riot grrrl band that existed from 1991-1994. Outcast and outraged, they made a howling, squalling mess of punk, all the menace and freedom of flocking birds. The handful of records, zines, and memories that document this brief, bonfire lifespan sketch a blueprint for how to be in the world, for how to understand the forces of capitalism and patriarchy and capitulation and still resist. Huggy Bear were a group that let things be complicated, that considered themselves complicit, but never took that as a reason to surrender.
Killed (of Kids) is a book by the five members of Huggy Bear (published by Jabs, Jabs, Jabs and The Grass Is Green In The Fields For You). It reproduces all seven zines made by the band during their lifespan alongside photos, correspondence, flyers and ephemera from their three year existence. This archive is joined by new text drawn from two years of interviews with the band members, carefully assembled into an extensive dialogue about intention, surprise, distress, encouragement.
