    Squatting in the Bushes: Book Launch Tour

    Your Ticket for a Free Ride in a World Without Borders


    Squatting in the Bushes is a new book from the Direct Action Against Apathy camp. The authors have created an audiovisual performance with their band Devils Bit Scabious and are taking it on tour around the country to launch the book in November /December The performance contains music vision & spoken word on issues, including national identity & the concept of borders, global days of action, the war on terror, and some
    some songs about hitchhiking...

    Hitchhiking can bring such an enormous sense of freedom & illuminate the wondrous extent of human generosity to strangers. It can also plummet you to the depths of despair, & illuminate the dull ache of boredom that nibbles at your toes when all you’ve got is time on your hands.

    Setting out on their trusty thumbs and desire for the unknown, Tina & Darren hit the highroads & lowlife of Fortress Europe in search of adventure & a comfortable ditch in which to rest their weary heads.

    Squatting in the Bushes is crammed fuller than their backpacks with d.i.y. travel tales, personal reflections & socio-political ramblings.
    With top tips for cheapskates & freeloaders, & thoughts on national identities, it will leave you questioning your own ideas of what travel is all about.

    From fun & frolics with Food Not Bombs in Finland to days of dandering with a donkey in sunny Spain, they encountered many people along the way. With more than a sideward glance towards history, Stonehenge, Normandy, Versailles, Berlin, Warsaw, Auschwitz, filled their brains with information and ideas.

    Squatting in the Bushes is a tale of freedom, a document of travel, a testimony of personal growth & political yearnings.

    Devils Bit Scabious play powerful, political, songs of revolution
    acoustically with passion. The band play a range of instruments including guitar, accordion, darbouka, bodhran, & throw in the occasional sample.
    To date Devils Bit Scabious have released 2 cd’s and are currently
    working on the third to be released in early 2003.
