LUNG LEG, SALLY SKULL and HELLO SKINNY flyer for live show – Edinburgh, Scotland – probably 1996 or 1997. Borrowed Raymond Pettibon imagery.

Awesome late 60s/early 70s all-female Indonesian beat/garage band DARA PUSPITA. They played their own instruments, wrote their own songs, and should probably be far better known than they are.
The Go-Go’s, Whitehouse, Black Flag, Crass…
One of the main contributors to this zine was a young Mark Arm.
Here’s what our favorite 2013 new wave/Rock of the 80s/modern music band TOXIE looks like, live in concert.
This fanzine, SUPERDOPE #8, is one that I put out in 1998, and one of which I still have multiple copies left. I’m selling if you’re buying.
It’s a digest-sized ‘zine with a long piece on my then-favorite 45rpm singles, each individually reviewed and explained. You can get a sense from the cover of what kind of music we’re talking about here. The magazine also has reviews of then-au courant rocknroll acts as well.

NUMBERS, San Francisco, 2001. Absolutely my favorite band on the planet that year.
JACKKNIFE, “San Francisco Beauty Queen” 7"EP cover from about 1992 or so.
Outstandingly primitive, ridiculously foul-mouthed GORIES drummer Peg O’Neil, circa early 90s.
My scanning of SUPERDOPE fanzine, which I used to write and put out myself back in the 1990s, continues apace. I’ve already scanned the previous six issues, which were published 1991-1993, and you can download and read each of them here. Here’s the lone issue that came out in 1994, SUPERDOPE #7. It was a small digest-sized mag centered around two in-person interviews I did with the bands Doo Rag and Virginia Dare. The interviews are then followed by a few book reviews and then a whole mess of record reviews.
Nineteen years later, it seems to read pretty well. I can’t say that I’ve spent a whole lot of time listening to either Doo Rag or Virginia Dare since then, but hey, that’s where my 26-yr-old head was in 1994, and I still like ‘em both. Around this time I was also “running” a small record label called WOMB; you can see on the back of this ‘zine the ad I made for the Monoshock 45 I put out. A few months after this came out, Anthony from Past It Records and I put out a Demolition Doll Rods 45 as well, and that was the end of Womb Records.
Turned out it was pretty much the end of Superdope fanzine, as well – at least for four years. In 1998, I came back and published one final issue of the magazine. Alas, it’s the only one I have any copies of anymore, and if you’re interested in it, this post provides some details on how to order it. #7, the one I’m posting here – well, I’m afraid you’ll have to scour the fanzine aftermarket. Or just download it here.

WE GOT POWER, live in Isla Vista, CA – May 1989. Their (our) only show. This band was me on vocals and the 3 members of Monoshock on guitar, bass and drums. We had intended to learn and play all 40 one-minute songs on the Mystic Records hardcore album “We Got Power”, but settled for drinking a bunch and learning a mere four songs instead.
