Bats Issue Nine launch

Overview

Are you into conspiracy theories? Do you think Stephen King killed John Lennon? Believe NASA faked the moon landing? If you're not buying it then you should be buying the new issue of Bats. That's right, the little school girls who dared to DIY are all grown up and onto their 9th issue.

In true Bats style The Conspiracy Issue will feature reckless and politically incorrect rants including a piece listing 10 Judeo-Christian beliefs that they believe to be bullshit, an open letter to mother nature, a look into the world of companionship and further exploration into the many conspiracies of the world. Listening to The X-Files theme tune while reading is advised.

It may or may not also include a B-grade high school English report on the Loch Ness Monster or the written ramblings of an ex cult member. We're not going to confirm or deny anything so you best get your own copy to find out what's what. You can do so by heading to the issue launch party at Alloneword – the zine's very first over 18 event.

The launch party will include DJ sets, live art by artists Jake Reston & Bhats, giveaways from I Heard They Eat Cigarettes & SOOT, as well as amateur spirit guide readings for the first hour (nope not even kidding). But most importantly you will be able to snap up a copy of The Conspiracy Issue before it hits stores in Australia the following week.
