This is what feminism sounds like!

We’re very excited! Lost Luna is featured on this amazing riot grrrl compilation free download project: This is what feminism sounds like vol.2. You can download the songs of lots and lost of great female bands for free! Lost Luna’s song is called “Pink Bloc”. Here are the lyrics:

Watch us march
Watch us riot
Don’t just watch
Go! Participate!

Hear us shout
Hear us scream
Don’t be quiet
Go! Start a riot!

We were a bit tired of black black black
So we added some colour and a queer flavour
It doesn’t seem as macho and elite
And we have fun while we’re at it

Pink resistance – Queer resistance
Na na na nana nana na na
Pink resistance – Queer resistance
Na na na nana nana na na

Info:

Zine Fest Gent is een bijeenkomst rond alternatieve media, creativiteit en activisme. Op zaterdag leer je meer over zines (DIY magazines) en over hoe je ze kan maken. Verder zijn er workshops over fictie en over artikels schrijven en gaan we feministische posters ontwerpen. Op zondag gaan we verder aan de slag met tekst en beeld om uiteindelijk samen een zine te maken. Verder zijn er stands met zines om te lezen en/of te kopen en worden enkele bijdragen voor the Feminist Poster Project getoond.

Het Zine Fest is een initiatief van FEL en ECHO. Wees welkom!

Wegbeschrijving:

Neem de trein of bus naar het station Gent Dampoort. Aan de overkant van het stationsgebouw, langs de spoorweg, begint de Koopvaardijlaan. Wandel rechtdoor tot aan de splitsing met de Afrikalaan. Daar ligt DOK. De DOK Kantine ligt aan de rechterkant als je het terrein op wandelt.
