This weekend is Worcester’s Veg Fest. I’ll be rolling through checking out the booths, hoping for some new free samples. Something I haven’t had before. We’ll see. Here’s what I’m guessing though. There won’t be one hardline table. That apparently went out in the 90s. Unless you are Neuva Etica, that is. But back in the day, one of the leaders of the vegan hardline movement was Vegan Reich. And when I say one of the forerunners, I mean, the actual forerunner. All you have to do is spin their EP Hardline (released on Hardline Records …) to see.
So put down your copy of Robert Cheeke’s Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness, and go grab this shirt from Andy Hurley (he played drums on a follow on EP), give him daps. Anyone know what’s going on with Sean Muttaqi these days? Still vegan? Still hardline?
Hung out with Sean a few weeks ago at the SOIA 25 year anniversary show. He rolled in with Dave Stein. How’s that for a couple of movers and shakers?
Hey Buske, I think you dropped something over here … ;)
How are those old boys doing?
Mr. Muttaqi is still vegan as far as I understand. Doing his label full time, martial arts… He’s doing well.
No mention of being an original or not…this design has been bootlegged like crazy. If anyone is planning on bidding, Id message him first to get some stats on the authenticity.
See you there!
thanks for mentioning that book – just what I was after
… and amazon uk have it! – thought you might like this tofu/coconut cookie recipe – really good

Muttaqi gets a ton of page time in the ‘Burning Fight’ book…about Vegan Reich, his life and veganism in general. Plus, if you don’t have the book…you are missing out. Incredible read.
Hey Chris, thanks for the burning fight book recommendation. Just got it and read 60 pages. So good! VeganReich are working on new material according to their myspace page.
