From: gerdw@cougar.vut.edu.au (David Gerard) Newsgroups: aus.music,alt.zines,alt.music.alternative,alt.music.independent Subject: Draft FAQ: Australian Music Zines Date: 27 Jun 1995 14:26:51 +1000 Draft FAQ: Australian Music Zines Version 0.3 by David Gerard Last Modified: 27th June 1995 ==================== CHANGES FROM LAST EDITION: A lot more filled-out. Thanks to everyone who posted updates and correct- ions, but particularly Greg Wadley for a *pile* of info. ==================== G'd morning. My name is David Gerard and I (edit|previously edited) a music fanzine called Party Fears, from Perth, Western Australia. I ended up knowing a lot about Australian indie music. (Probably too much.) This list originated as a 'press pack' I concocted in mid-1994, due to mass- media journalists calling up or writing to me and asking about these things called 'fanzines'. (You know, the people who the year before had been writing about something called 'grunge'.) I decided that it was a better idea to provide them with information than not to (in the hope of *some* accuracy coming through), and prepared version 0.1. I think it worked pretty well, really. This list is exceedingly incomplete. There's been a pile of zines in the last year or so that should be mentioned and aren't. (Even the ones that suck.) I BEG YOUR HELP AND INFORMATION. This list will be posted periodically (whatever the period is -- probably monthly or so) to aus.music, alt.zines, alt.answers, alt.music.alternative and alt.music.independent. I may be e-mailed at gerdw@cougar.vut.edu.au (preferred) or fun@suburbia.apana.org.au, my phone number at VUT is +61 (3) 9688 4856 or 9688 4071, and the postal address is SRC Footscray NoName / attn: David Gerard / Victoria University of Technology / PO Box 14428 / Melbourne Mail Centre 3001. Information (with sources), corrections and suggestions are welcomed. ==================== CONTENTS: 1. Current Australian Zines 2. List Of Inactive Zines 3. More Information Wanted On ... ==================== 1. CURRENT AUSTRALIAN ZINES Listings are of the format: TITLE, Editor, address -- most recent # sighted -- price by mail -- e-mail address -- plus a short description/review. I've listed prices (where known!) this time around, in Australian dollars. Some of these are estimated. Where in doubt, an SASE will get the details -- remember, all these people *love* attention. (SASE: Self-Addressed Stamped Envelope -- you send them an envelope with your name and address on the front and a stamp on it. Outside Australia, use two IRCs [International Reply Coupons], which are pricey but will get an airmail letter anywhere in the world -- ask at your post office.) E-mailing and asking for a freebie may or may not work. I would call it discourteous, at the least. It's up to you. Your mileage may vary. If in Australia, you may well be able to get these at your local indie record shop. Be warned that free zines are much-loved commodities and tend to go in seconds. May I suggest Au Go Go (PO Box 542d, Melbourne 3001) and House Of Wax (808 Hay Street, Perth 6000) as indie shops with useful mail- order outlets that carry my personal seal of approval as a happy customer. Note also that all opinions are my personal opinions and no-one else's. (And yes, it *is* my place to say what I think ...) = = = = = = = = = = APiTO, Bollox, PO Box 6295, Rockhampton 4702 -- #14 A Piss In The Ocean, a.k.a. A Peace In The Oneness. Used to be a punk zine, now whatever crosses its path in Queensland independent music. Pretty good. Last sighted late 1993. BLAST! -- PO Box 4433, Melbourne University 3052 -- #3 -- dpk@ecr.mu.oz.au Generalist; so far has had a reasonable whack of music and *lots* about marijuana (uses, pro-legalisation, etcetera). Not too bad. (The world still doesn't need yet another zine called Blast, though.) BUGZINE, Max and Marita, PO Box 598, Moonee Ponds 3039 -- #2 Indie-rock to metal and punk. Long interviews and lots of text. Lots to read here. Young and enthusiastic. THE BURNING TIMES, Richard Watts, PO Box 425, Clifton Hill 3068 -- #2 -- $4 One of the most cheering ideas seen of late: an indie-queer zine. What makes it really special is that it's really well-written. This one could really take off. #2 is twice the size of #1. Recommended. CRUMPET, Brendan, RMB 5028, Benalla 3673 -- #2 -- $2? Indie rock zine done by someone stuck out in the country. Slim, but enter- taining. Last sighted issue late 1993. DARK ANGEL, PO Box 383, Richmond 3121 -- #17 'Gothic' zine -- *the* Australian zine of such and looks excellent as a mail networking guide. Also veers into techno/industrial and a bit of metal. DARKWAVE OVER METROPOLIS, Booker, 7/143 Onslow Roadx, Shenton Park 6008 -- #2 -- $4? "Goth/Industrial Fanzine" from Perth. Average to okay writing, average layout, good coverage of its area. DIRTY ON THE SHOVEL, Michael Nichols, PO Box 219, Newtown 2042 -- #4 -- $2? More a personal life zine than a music zine, but more than enough enter- tainment to be worthwhile. Michael was previously a member of various bands, notably Crabstick and the Hanshalf Trio. Most recent issue was December 1993. This zine is unbelievably good and you need it. DNA, Harry Butler, PO Box 602, North Adelaide 5006 -- #88 Australia's oldest zine (1979 onwards), steaming towards 100 issues! Interviews and reviews on Adelaide and Australian stuff. Ideal source of raw information. Proves that you don't need any layout at all -- just content, all typed up and photocopied as-is. All back issues available; new issue (#89) on the way soon, after a few years off. Recommended. Harry is also a partner in Adelaide indie shop Thrash Grind Grunge -- anyone writing should ask to go on the mailing list. EDDIE, Eddie Greenaway, PO Box 199, Newtown 2042 -- #10 -- $6 Some music but mostly life -- fiction, comics, opinion. A real good one. #8 comes with compilation CD (and sold a hell of a lot of copies at the Big Day Out shows). Recommended. ENDZONE, Garry Williams, 12 Borrows Street, Virginia 4014 -- #10 -- $4? Brisbane local zine. May have ceased production -- last issue 1993. FLEXIBLE HEAD, Marnie Dunstan, GPO Box G-438, Perth 6001 -- #10 -- large SASE Freebie which wishes it were Spunk (see below). Strictly 'alternative' rather than independent, aimed squarely at the NME reader. A few okay bits. FORM GUIDE, Richard, The Punter's Club, PO Box 1167, Carlton 3053 -- #20 -- A5 SASE Not a zine as such, but the newsletter of the Punter's Club (Fitzroy, Melbourne venue), done in zine format -- articles, reprinted press- releases, record releases, demo reviews. Eminently worth reading and better than a lot of the standard type of zine. More venues should do this. FROM THE SAME MOTHER, Julian Williams, GPO Box 2637, Melbourne 3001 -- #8 -- SASE Free zine from the excellent tape label -- send a large enough SASE to get some zines and a catalogue. The weird, twisted and downright homey end of DIY. #8 just out -- the Perth/Adelaide/Brisbane --> Melbourne 'Love Triangle'. Recommended. GIRLPATCH, c/o 46 Palmerston Street, Northbridge 6003 -- #2 -- SASE Free zine that takes the piss out of Perth indie-pop kids. Pretty entertaining in an in-jokey way. #3 due some time. GROT GRRL, Yvette Pusser and Sam Difference, Melbourne -- #3 -- $5? Aggressive advocacy of women in rock. Its musical perspective (per se) is breathtakingly lame; excellent idea, though, and its existence has a good effect. GUMBOOTS, Luke Duke, PO Box 99, Camberwell 3124 -- #1 -- $4? Self-consciously hip indie-rock zine. Its role-models show a bit much. Some worthwhile content, though. This one may be inactive. THE HARVEY, Deborah Dickson, 30 Waterloo Crescent, East Perth 6004 -- #5 -- current issue sold out Sassy and obnoxious independent pop magazine -- fun, humour and nuking sacred cows. The zine that asked Evan Dando (Lemonheads), "So, how often do you wank?" and he told them! *The* zine for the rockin' indie pop-kid who gets the shits from po-faced artheads. Recommended. #6 is actually coming some time soonish. LEMON, Louise Dickinson, PO Box 651, Glebe 2037 -- #17 -- SASE -- c/o gerdw@cougar.vut.edu.au Independent music (with strong punk rock'n'roll bias) from Australia and America. Issues #10 to 16 had a colour cover and came with a seven-inch record, though current issues are freebies for postage. #17 just out. Recommended. Late news: Louise Dickinson died recently (22/5/95). However, a bunch of us are preparing Lemon #18 of whatever's left, plus tributes from friends. If you know anyone suitable, get 'em in touch. (No Club Hoy jokes, please.) If you want a Lemon #17, you should write to me direct -- address at top of this posting. It currently looks like Lemon will actually be continuing, under the aegis of one of the main Sydney contributors; more info when this is all sorted out. LOADED TO THE GILLS, PO Box 141, Camperdown 2050 -- #7 -- $1.55? Punk music and culture, tho' it branches out from there. Notable for being very well designed -- the editor (a bassist from Lawnsmell) is an artist. Well-written, entertaining and cheap. LOSER FRIENDLY, Cousin Creep, ??? -- #1 -- $4? -- ruacreep@iaccess.com.au Indie rock fanzine. The editor also runs the Hippy Knight record label. The zine isn't fantastically well-written, but it's not just a puff sheet for the record company (in fact, the company is barely mentioned). It'll get good with time. LOTUS, Scott Hunt, PO Box 865, Bendigo 3550 Extremely well-produced, average to okay content. Thinks it's better than it is. A few excellent articles, however. MAILMAN, Ned MacDonald, PO Box 12282, A'Beckett Street, Melbourne 3000 -- #3 More large than good, but issue #2 is miles ahead of #1. MacDonald is prone to pettiness. MARCY, Richard Niels Loveday, 13 Bamlett Street, Kelmscott 6111 -- #4 -- $5 Pungent opinionation, cutting cultural analysis, interviews, reviews. #4 includes the eighty-page American Roadtool, Richard's book-length US tour diary. Recommended. This issue was #2 on my top ten of 1993, only beaten by Answer Me! #3. Late news: #5 just out, $4 from above address. Again, recommended. MS. 45, PO Box 2063, Fitzroy MDC 3065 -- #5 -- SASE -- c/o gerdw@cougar.vut.edu.au Small, free feminist rant zine with a bit of rock'n'roll thrown in. The most important thing about this zine is that it's fantastically well written -- Ms. 45 is a real talent. Funny, sleazy, rockin' and still ideologically sound -- recommended. NAPPY KILL, no address given, Melbourne -- #4 -- free Indie scene coverage plus ranting. Gets *lots* of points for attitude. Worth picking up. NOCTAVIAN PRINCIPLE -- Wilber, Bonnie, Hasi, Vorm -- c/o Eudlo Post Office, Eudlo 4554 -- $4 -- s324721@student.uq.oz.au -- http://student.uq.oz.au/~s324721/The_Noctavian_Principle.html Industrial music (German and Australian) and whatever the hell else they feel like. NOISECRASH, Jay Noisecrash, PO Box 178, Georges Hall 2198 -- #1 -- $2? Metal and punk, plus other things (raising ferrets, how to get into the Hordern Pavilion free). Not very well done, but sincere and enthusiastic. #2 due soon. NUMB, Nnuk, PO Box 509, Camberwell 3124 -- #4 -- SASE Fiction, ranting, rambling, juggling. (Juggling.) Worth picking up. PAGAN GRIND, Don, c/o 28/150 Healy Road, Hamilton Hill 6163 -- #4 -- $2.50? or trade Hardcore punk zine including some interesting rants. Not that much of a dead-horse flogger, which is something at least. PENII, no address given -- #2 Writing, garbage and music. Trivial but entertaining. PIG MEAT, Nick Potter, 19 Sheahan Way, Marmion 6020 -- #7 -- A4 SASE Free zine of band interviews, reviews, cartoons and stuff. Fun. POINDEXTER, Luke Marinovich, 136 Britannia Avenue, Munster 6166 -- #4 -- SASE A3 freebie with reviews, editorial and an interview or two. RADIATION FROM SPACE, Thomas K. Bollinger, PO Box 2051, Fitzroy MDC 3065 -- #1 -- $6? Quite a production here. This first issue has a bit of music, but mostly talks about explorations into the nature of insanity in relation to society. Decent layout, pretty good writing. RALPH, Adam Ross and Anto Mack, PO Box 65, Clifton Hill 3168 -- #7? -- large SASE Hideously badly written, laid out and photocopied. The editors are very young, but that's no more excuse than it is for Silverchair. RESISTANT HARMONY, Scotty, GPO Box 3222GG, Melbourne 3001 -- #7? Fat and incredibly detailed (and with ridiculously small print -- I dare you to take on the zine review section without a phone-book lens). Makes it on sheer size and sincerity. Scotty works at Au Go Go Records and knows his stuff. Recommended. New issue out soon. RODANT, Anto Mack, PO Box 65, Clifton Hill 3168 -- #3 -- SASE Offshoot of Ralph. Not quite as bad; in fact, some bits (the bits by Mark Scano) are actually worth bothering to read. Still a plague, but. SALTY & DELICIOUS, Guy Blackman & Richard Forster, PO Box 150, Northbridge 6003 -- #4 -- richard@4zzzfm.brisnet.org.au ; c/o langham@multiline.com.au Interviews, reviews, rants on the independent ethos (radios, venues and so on). Mainly hand-lettered. Guy edits from Perth and Richard edits from Brisbane. Guy previously edited Perth zine Chapter 24, runs the Chapter Music label, does a lot of stuff around RTR-FM, is in the band Sulk and secretly runs the entire Perth scene. Richard is working on a similar takeover deal on the Brisbane one. Well written, knows its stuff. A *real* nice one. Recommended. SHABBY, Nick, 89 Wonga Road, Ringwood 3134 -- #1 -- $5 Alternative and indie rock interviews. A bit overly glossy, but not too bad overall and some good stuff to be found. #2 has been promised but has yet to be sighted. SKILLS OF DEFENSIVE DRIVING, Ben Richardson, PO Box 395, 22 Central Avenue, Manly 2095 -- #10 -- $1.50 postage Personal ranting about life. Music as well. Each issue has a theme -- work, trips up north, 'The Car Ahead', dating horror stories ... Incredibly well written and funny. Recommended. The 'work' issue was #3 on my top ten of 1993. SPLEEN TWO, GPO Box 833, Sydney 2001 -- #1 Alternative interviews and reviews. Glossy and a bit overdesigned, but the content has substance. Reincarnation of Tasmanian zine Spleen that did three issues in 1993. SPUNK, Aaron and Kieran, PO Box 192, Mascot 2020 -- #3 -- $2? Semi-corporate zine, generally regarded as an outpost of a major label promo office -- which it turns out it is (Festival, NSW; one of the six majors in Australia). 'Alternative' rather than independent. Gets lots of publicity because Aaron is a good networker. I'm reliably told Aaron is the nicest guy ever, but anything passing itself off as a 'zine' whose editorial (#2) ends with "Remember, lo-fi sux ..." needs a bullet pronto. Late News: #4 just out, with a cassette (a 'FREE!' cassette and a $7 price tag; yeah, right). STICKY'S THOUGHTS, Janette & Kylie, 108 Victoria Road, Lilydale 3140 -- #3 -- large SASE Alternative rock zine by and for underagers; not great, but fine for what it is. STUMPY, Andrew Leavold, GPO Box 2300, Brisbane 4001 -- #5 -- $2? Music and splatter films. Entertaining and he knows his stuff. Recommended. STURGEON, Danny Butt, PO Box 219, Newtown 2042 -- #2 -- SASE? Indie music, with a particular emphasis on the products of the Xpressway label in New Zealand. Has unbelievably good taste and you need it. The issue before this was quite some time ago. THIRSTY AND MISERABLE, Richard Stanley, PO Box 666, Indooroopilly 4068 -- #1 -- $2? -- rich@4zzzfm.brisnet.org.au Cutting edge of independent rock'n'roll with a fair bit of knowledge and little self-importance. Pretty damned fine. Editor did a zine called Detox in 1992 which was pretty much the same sort of thing. T.M.T., Mat Honner, 63 Glenbar Road, Duncraig 6023 -- #15 -- $3 Small and enthusiastic zine of current punk rock and indie music, notable for actually coming out quite frequently. Sloppy but endearing. Have started using a computer, so the magazine is actually readable now. (The Underground Lovers went to some lengths to trash T.M.T. in the press for daring to give them a bad review -- arrogant losers.) VIVISECT, PO Box 13047, Law Courts PO, Melbourne 3000 -- #16 -- biosmd@luxor.latrobe.edu.au The industrial, techno, goth and electronic axis -- does a damn good job of coverage, too. Everyone here has an Internet address. Recommended. THE WHITE HOUSE, 360 Canning Highway, Como 6152 -- #2 -- SASE Done by a bunch of housemates (hence the name). Alternative/independent rock, Perth scene, eccentricity, dumb sexism ... interesting, particularly for Perth scenesters. WOOZY, Iain McIntyre/Lora MacFarlane, PO Box 4434, Melbourne Uni, Parkville 3052 -- #7 Music and ideologically-sound infotainment. Tends to change format every issue. Proves you don't need a computer -- entire zine is hand-lettered! Woozy #4 comes with a cassette. Nice interview with me in #5. Recommended. Has also spawned a spinoff zine, WHEEZY (done using Macintosh), which is free with $2 postage. YEAR ZERO, Dave Lang, c/o GPO Box 3222GG, Melbourne 3001 -- #4 -- $3? Incredibly uptight, indie-retentive, artheaded opinionation. Long-winded. Small print, long interviews, shit-stirring opinion columns. You'll alternate between laughter and anger each paragraph. Recommended. #5 will be a twenty-page supplement in the next issue of Resistant Harmony. ==================== 2. ZINES NO LONGER ACTIVE This section could basically list every dead zine since Pulp (1977), though it's generally only those since the mid-'80s. (Gotta get that copy of Inner City Sound and get retyping ...) More info is, of course, welcomed. = = = = = = = = = = ALIENS, MUTANTS, SENSELESS VIOLENCE AND GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS! -- Melbourne, 3 issues, 1988?. Editor Craig "Cousin Creep" Barnes now runs the Hippy Knight record label and edits Loser Friendly (see current list). BLAST -- Perth, 10? issues, 1990-1991. Perth metal zine; editor Joe Kapiteyn fronts the band Infected. Not related to the present Melbourne zine Blast!. BLASTED BANANA -- Perth, 4 issues, 1989-90. Free zine of Perth indie guitar pop -- wild, enthusiastic and pretty cool. Editor Samantha Wilson is alive and well in Perth. BOGGED DOWN IN HATRED -- anti-music-industry one-off, issued late 1993. Most notable for effects and demonstration of what is possible: an anonymous uncensorable free photocopied zine. Industry people were howling for the guy's blood. I have some on hand ... B-SIDE -- Sydney, 24 issues, 1983-90. Started life under the name Form 38. One of the most important Australian zines, both in spreading the word about Australian independent rock'n'roll in the mid-'80s when all other media failed utterly (required reading for the European fan of Australian music) and in its influence on future generations of ziners in the late '80s and through to the present. Editor Simon Lonergan now at Yu-Bute T shirt printing in Sydney. BUDDIES & PALS -- see Hang 'Em High (inactive) below. B.U.M.S. (Brisbane Underground Music Scene) -- Brisbane, 40-odd issues?, 1990-92. Fortnightly freebie; went broke in a *big* way. Editor Adine Barton was promo at Siren Records, then advertising for Form Guide (above). CHAPTER 24 -- Perth, 4 issues, 1989-91. Editor Guy Blackman now does Salty & Delicious (above) and a million other things. CONSUMER JUNK -- Melbourne, 5 issues, 1986-88. Punk rock and culture and so on -- fat and readable. Editor Dick Hunton's present whereabouts unknown. CRAP ON -- Melbourne, 5 issues, 1987. Hardcore zine by a 15-year-old Dave Lang (Year Zero). CROWD -- Melbourne, 1 issue?, 1983. Magazine with cassette, done by ex-Fast Forward editor Andrew Maine after that magazine ceased production. Unbeliev- ably pretentious and shithouse. Bruce Milne went on to record the Scient- ists, Maine did this -- you figure it out. Looks collectable but isn't. DETOX -- Brisbane, 1 issue, 1992. See Thirsty And Miserable above. DISTANT VIOLINS -- Melbourne then Sydney, 28 issues, 1983-91. Editor David Nichols now drums in The Cannanes, writes freelance for money, still draws cartoons and is a student (Ph.D. in History). EFFIGY -- Adelaide, 4 issues, 1988-90. Editor Robert Brokenmouth is now writing a book on seminal band The Birthday Party. FANGZINE -- Perth, 11 issues?, 1990-91. Editor Dylan Krasevac moved from Perth to Melbourne, is a successful artist and is now writing for Woozy. FAST FORWARD -- Melbourne, 12 issues, 1981-82. Cassette with magazine, the idea being that the two work together. All issues contain unbelievably rare tracks from the greats, and are eminently worth tracking down and treasur- ing. Editor Bruce Milne runs Au Go Go Records (shop and label); editor Andrew Maine went on to edit Crowd (see above) and died in 1989. FREAKZINE -- Perth, 3 issues, 1989-91. Editor Iain MacIntyre now co-edits Woozy (above) and is in various Melbourne bands; editor Bernard Langham (langham@multiline.com.au) is now in Perth band Sulk and doing freelance graphic design and computer programming. GETTING UGLY -- Perth, 4 issues, 1989-91. Hardcore punk and opinionation. Editor Andrew Sheen is presently in Perth band Rupture. GRAVES IN OUR MINDS -- Perth, 2 issues, 1989. Hardcore punk. Editor Eyanne Belford is alive and well and living in Perth. HANG 'EM HIGH -- Adelaide, 4? issues, 1987? Previously named Buddies & Pals. Punk and indie rock zine. Not too bad. HSV-II -- Perth, 6 issues, 1982-83. Somewhat pretentious and artheaded, but pretty important for the place and time. Editor Karen Bagby's present whereabouts are unknown. ISSUE -- Perth/Melbourne, 3 issues, 1983-84. Extrememly pretentious and artheaded (not to mention glossy), but of substance. Published by the distribution service Manic Ex-Poseur, who are still operating. Third issue published as "LIMIT OF MAPS: Issue #3". LOSER -- Melbourne, 5 issues, 1987?-90. Editor Arthur Protestant (Greg Wadley, wadley@ariel.ucs.unimelb.edu.au) now runs the Spill label. M-4 -- Melbourne, 17 issues, 1990?-94?. More info required. NOMADS -- Perth, 5 issues, 1985-86.

Editor Sandra ??? was managing Sydney band The Black Box (a.k.a. Base Hands?) in 1988; present whereabouts unknown. PARTY FEARS -- Perth, 19 issues, 1985-93. Editor David Gerard (gerdw@cougar.vut.edu.au) is writing this FAQ. I swear this one is not dead but only sleeping. I'm currently an editor of NoName, the student paper at Victoria University of Technology, so who knows when a PF is out ... REMOTE CONTROL -- Perth, one issue, 1978. Historical interest: a punk and new wave zine with Victims/Cheap Nasties/Scientists interviews. Editor David Kelsall formed And An A in 1980 and is still there ... somewhere ... RISE ABOVE -- Sydney, 5 issues, 1986-87. Hardcore punk zine that actually had a sense of humour. Planned issue #6 never came out. Editor Steve King's present whereabouts are unknown. SPEED KILLS -- Perth, one issue (numbered #3), 1986. Obnoxious and anonymous Perth scene zine with interviews, reviews and industry slander. SPLEEN -- Tasmania, 3 issues, 1993. Revived as Spleen Two (see above). SUNGLASSES AFTER DARK -- Melbourne, 3 issues, 1984-85. Indie scene zine. Editor unknown. TEMPORARY INSANITY -- Perth, 1 issue, 1986. One-off four-page photocopied ramble reviewing some bands and records; editor unknown. Noted for the sake of completeness. TROUSERS IN ACTION -- Sydney, 13 issues, 1983-87. Punk zine, #12 and #13 with seven-inch record. Editor Bruce Griffiths did the Aberrant record label until about 1990 and contributed heavily to B-Side; present whereabouts unknown.
