IN SUPPORT OF DE VLOEK: “THE NEXT CASUALTY IN LINE” And another squat is threatened with eviction. De Vloek a.k.a. De Piratenbar a.k.a. El Lokal Pirata a.k.a. Water en Brood a.k.a. is an amazing place, with a great history of only 12 years. We had the honor to play there twice when they hosted benefit shows. Closing (tearing) down De Vloek would be a loss for counter culture in general, for its direct surrounding (Scheveningen and The Hague) and for the people living there and the activities taking place (that might not find a home elsewhere). “De Vloek was squatted 12 years ago and has grown into an vital locale in the harbor of Scheveningen where many non-profit initiatives have been developed. De Vloek is home to the organic vegan restaurant Water en Brood, a concert hall de Piratenbar, many studios and workspaces, living space and rehearsal spaces for bands. Everything that happens in de Vloek has been started and maintained without subsidies and the terrain is self managed. Hundreds of people come every week to participate in the diverse activities at de Vloek.” devloek.nl Kraken Gaat Door! The next casualty in line The next threat rising from youth culture Either disarmed or illegalized Downgraded and removed Squatting is not a crime Squatting continues The petty bourgeoisie at war with their own legacy Defending speculation Artists, students, bands like us Culture in general, owing so much to squatting A shelter For what is valuable For what is not for sale For what has no commercial interest at all Callousness, why should I care? I’ve got my house, I can drink my beer Ignore its role in art and housing Stress the conflicts and incidents A place for those without one A home for those without one An outlet for those without one No squatter is illegal
