Staycool Fanzine #1 in Top 10 Fanzines of September for MRR!!!

Yo folks!!! Hope all is well. Finally decided to update the blog after a couple of months of inactivity! Gotta let you all know that Staycool Fanzine #1 was selected as one of the Top 10 Fanzines for the September issue of Maximum Rocknroll! Gotta start hustling on Staycool #2 I suppose!

Here's the proof!!! HAHA!

We got a good review in MRR #340. Hopefully we'll be able to do the print version ASAP and be more consistent with updating the blog.

Staycool Fanzine #1 Available Now

Interviews with long defunct Los Angeles hardcore giants Life's Halt (which started out as an all Latino/Chicano ensemble), Nevada's Dag Nastesque hardcore stalwarts Faded Grey (I believe a Latino bassist), and Oxnard's Slap-A-Ham revivalists El Mariachi (Multiracial powerviolence kids). Plus articles on race and identity, recipes, and band pics!!! Issue #2 in the works and should be out in a month or so! Let's keep the DIY aesthetic alive!!!

Connecting the digital to the print aesthetic...sheesh

Alright, I finally decided to shed my supposed 'disdain' for the digital aspect of 'subculture'. About damn time...Peep the blog for interviews, 'merchandise', and other stuff that can be done faster than cut and paste!
