Enter Our Tshirt Comp!
Okay, while so we’re squirreled away in our bunker throwing spitballs at each other and arguing over the contents of #rabble12 – we thought we’d run a design competition with the good folk at The Tshirt Company.
Nothing plants a smile on our face more than opening a box of fresh rabble merch and when someone’s agreed to give us a helping hand on the screen printing, well – that’s like finding a bag of cans under a couch on Good Friday.
So here it is folks, we’re looking for someone to summon the contrary will of our little rabble project and represent it on a tshirt print limited to four colours.

Our Editorial Rant
“Th’ whole worl’s in a terrible state o’ chassis.”
Captain Boyle’s words resonate today as much as they did in 1924 on the Abbey stage.
Every week we seem to be burying more victims of our careless system; the homeless, the Travellers, the asylum seekers; or repatriating the bodies of exiles, the emigrants, our dearly departed.

When History Goes Bad.
February 4, 2016One peculiar myth that has gained currency amongst the TLDR crowd is that of the ‘Irish Slaves’. What sounds like a good story over a couple of pints has become a keystone of white supremacist theory in the USA.Go East.
January 26, 2016Above: Some amazing photos here by Oliver Wia. They all feature in the book. The top one is Dr Motte, who produced the track Der Klang Der Familie. An early anthem that gave the book its title. The first Tressor club features in the rest. The folklore of English and US dancefloors is a well trodden path of familiar origin myths ... Read More
