Lost Texts Around King Mob 1968-1972 (WiseEbooks)

By Phil Meyler, Fred Vermerol, Dave and Stuart Wise

King Mob was initially a coming together in London of members of the English section of the Paris-based Situationist Internationa I and like-minded individuals from Newcastle associated with the anti-art magazine, Icteric , and the Black Hand Gang. Following Guy Debord's expulsion of the English members from the Situationist Internationa I in December 1967, the King Mob Echo was co-founded in April 1968 by former SI member, Chris Gray and 'friends from the north', Dave and Stuart Wise. The material in this collection by King Mob writers and their associates -- Ronald Hunt, John Barker, Fred Vermorel, Chris Gray and Phil Meyler -- still has a power to provocatively invigorate and open-up new directions of thought and action emanating from a subversive critique of culture. For the most part, these texts have been forgotten and therefore never archived in the libraries of art history and the 'popsicle academy' of media/music studies. Indeed, they had to be rescued from what Marx referred to as "the gnawing criticism of the mice".
