Australia’s B-SIDE fanzine, issue #19 from 1987. That was the year that Australian Radio Birdman-style rawk was huge among a certain kind of record accumulator/nerd….like me.
Cosmic Psychos, Hard-Ons, Celibate Rifles, Reptiles at Dawn, Seminal Rats – I loved that stuff. Sold just about all of it with zero regrets within a decade.
From the SLASH magazine 1-year anniversary issue, Los Angeles 1978.
Phenomenal new bare-bones garage gnarl from SEX TIDE – song #1 from a split cassette with Bloody Show. Ask the band how you can get one.
BOO BOO fanzine #1, published by Brett Sokol out of Cleveland, Ohio in 1994, and scanned by me at my house yesterday afternoon twenty years later.
DRUNKEN FISH was a label and (briefly) a fanzine based out of Santa Monica, CA.
Darren Mock was the guy behind the mini-empire, and a friendly guy to boot whom I met a couple of times in the early 90s. To the best of my knowledge, the ‘zine only came out once. Its focus was collector-scum 45s and underground rock music in limited editions. This great piece by Dave Stimson (one of the fellas behind Touch-n-Go fanzine) provides a nice flavour.
ALLEY CATS / FLESH EATERS / CONSUMERS ad – live at The Whiskey in Los Angeles, June 1978. Scanned from Slash magazine.
Mooreose, thanks for this. I tried to post about this here on Tumblr & on our FB/Twitter pages, but The Hedonist Jive had to change URLs. The new URL for the blog is http://www.hedonist-jive.com.
Thanks again.
Dynamite Hemorrhage fanzine is available for sale – but only for about 10 more days, because I’m moving to Norway for the summer, and I don’t think they have mail service or envelopes there (and I’m not going to haul my last box of remaining ‘zines there to find out).
So if you’ve been considering getting our first issue for yourself or a loved one, now might be the time. I’ll take orders until May 11th, then I’ll disable the Paypal link until mid-August, when I return with a big blonde walrus ‘stache and a belly full of whale.
Order Dynamite Hemorrhage #1 here.
It includes:
– An in-depth interview with Chris D., Los Angeles-based punk rock earth-turner, who founded and fronted The Flesh Eaters; ran a pioneering record label called Upsetter; almost released the first Black Flag album; wrote dozens of reviews and helped to edit the seminal Slash magazine; put out his own fanzine with Exene, John Doe & Judith Bell; and much more – all before 1979 was finished. This interview focuses solely on that period of his career
– The first and only retrospective and posthumous interview with SALLY SKULL, a fantastic 1990s all-female Scottish band who made raw, jarring garage punk music with dollops of angularity and dirty pop hooks
– Mail interviews with SEX TIDE and HOUSEHOLD, two current bands working the circuit who happen to be two of Dynamite Hemorrhage’s very favorites
– Quickie interview with BONA DISH, a recently-resurrected early 80s UK countryside band who are poster children for the rough-hewn, spaced-out DIY sound that we’ve all come to worship from that era and country
– Big retrospective on 1980s and 1990s underground music fanzines (like Damp, Butt Rag, Dagger, Two Hundred Pound Underground etc.) by the editor of Fuckin’ Record Reviews blog
– 60-something record reviews written by Erika Elizabeth and Jay Hinman
– 15-something book reviews by Jay & Erika
– Advertisements from today’s top labels
RHINO 39, Los Angeles-based creators of a blazing 1979 single on Dangerhouse (“Prolixin Stomp/Xerox/No Compromise”), as featured within the Munster Records 2xCD collection of all the Dangerhouse singles.
DYNAMITE HEMORRHAGE RADIO #36 is now ready for streaming and download, just like the 35 episodes before it. This one takes a mild-psych left turn at the start before veering back into underground artpunk, pop, DIY experimentation and garage gnarl from the last fifty years.
New stuff’s on proud display from Cold Beat, Buck Biloxi & The Fucks, Trick Mammoth, Thee Oh Sees, Pang and the Sleaford Mods, along with some little-heard genius from Chapter 24, The Milky Ways, 999999999, The Nights and Days and the Inflatable Boy Clams – among others.
