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!!! If you want a copy just send me an email.

Here's one of the bands we interviewed:

Life's Halt - Vidas (Youngblood Records, 2000)

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!
