Somewhere between a fail and a win.

Fellow night owls and/or morning sparrows,

S’all happenin’ in Adelaide!

Something that became very apparent when Amanda and I visited earlier this year for the Format Festival is that Adelaide is a pretty happening place. If you were at the MCA zine fair it’s very possible that some of your zines were collected by Sam for the Adelaide zine shop. The Adelaide D.I.Y scene is [...]

Zine Age Riot zine fair and exhibition

Ok, I’ll admit it. I had a giggle at the name of this zine fair. Now that confession is out of the way, I’ll let you know that this zine fair is being presented by Sea Cell and Teeluxe as part of a larger exhibition in Byron Bay that includes both Australian and international artists [...]

Zine trade: Nerf Jihad!

This awesome package of zines from Nerf Jihad zines actually arrived on our figurative doorstep a while ago and have been sitting in our ‘To Blog’ pile for far too long. Matt has been writing Nerf Jihad since 2004 and is pretty well known round these parts. Each issue includes a mix of punk [...]
