John Sinclair and The Founder Effect perform songs from ‘ Mohawk’ at Canary Wharf Spiegeltent, London Download the Spiegeltent Leaflet PDF here
"John
Sinclair - renegade poet, scholar and cultural revolutionary.....an
Archetype of the 1960's art, music and literary synthesis, still kicking
with both feet on his trajectory for cultural transformation. Mohawk
features ten tracks from his book of verse: always know: a book of monk.
Beatnik poems, great odes and personal reflections of the Be-Bop jazz
persuasion, all flowering together."

“Pop culture in general is the main thing they use to keep young people from developing any ideas.” - John Sinclair
John Sinclair is best known as the Sixties "marijuana" activist who was sentenced to 10 years in prison for giving two joints to an undercover policewoman. He was eventually freed when John Lennon and Yoko Ono spoke out on his behalf.
Less understood is his role as the founder and chairman of the radical anti-war group, The White Panther Party, an offshoot of the Black Panthers. The Black Panther Party was a militant political organization formed after the brutal murders of Martin Luther King, Malcolm X and Robert Kennedy.
The Nixon Administration and the FBI launched a secret program called COINTELPRO to disrupt and ultimately destroy the Black Panthers and the Anti-War movement. As part of this program, John Sinclair was set up and imprisoned on marijuana charges. When the government could no longer justify denying him a bond over two joints, they falsely charged him with a Federal conspiracy to blow up a CIA station, in order to make him disappear.

“The Revolution is totally committed to bringing people out of their shells and into each others arms. The music is the source and effect of our spirit flesh and we demand a free music and a free high energy source that will drive us wild into the streets.....yelling and screaming and tearing down everything that would keep people slaves” – John Sinclair
Police Bastard - "Confined" distributed by Cargo and released through reliable channels from October 6th 2014.
“Thought-provoking
monologues and confrontational lyrics bring you on a cold, doom-laden
journey of perpetual war, psychological mind control and
disillusionment.”
"…an
anti-theistic slice of brutality, which leaves the listener in no doubt
that Police Bastard mean business. You even get a quote from Richard
Dawkins about teaching the bible as fiction. Musically they give us huge
chugging riffs on “Brought To Our Knees”, which tackles the blandness
of multi-national companies infecting the high street, set against the
backdrop of the widening gap between rich and poor. For those that like
their anthems loud and stompy, “Sick Sick System” will no doubt win a
seal of approval with its knock about Punk mayhem and catchy refrain,
‘sick sick system, same old bullshit’.
“….From
Mark Orton‘s cover art through to the final song, “Fortress,” Police
Bastard have presented an album that uses hardcore’s battering ram
approach to push through a series of songs that depict how humanity has
destroyed the Earth. Lines such as “We’re sealing our fate” hammer home
the idea that mankind has taken the world to the edge of existence…"
