Right on – it’s time to celebrate the launch of our brand
new issue. What’s inside? Well, I don’t want to spoil the surprise too much,
but we got some interesting bits and pieces revolving around various Wakey folk
heading out into the wider world; Runaround Kids Irish Tour Diary, Protectors
heading for Japan, Rob Fisher on his journeys around America and Louise Distras
on the importance of touring and spreading your message. We take a look at how
you go about getting paid for being an artist, the importance of music helping
us find meaning in life and the story of how Retarded Fish ended up supporting
The Cribs at their 10th anniversary homecoming gig.
Sweet.
But how to launch it? Ok, we invite you to join us at The
Orangery on August 4th. We’ll be spinning some vinyl, there’ll be a
bar, I might read from the Arnie novelisation I’ve been enjoying recently.
There will be a raffle, including the chance to win tickets for Leeds Fest. And
there will be a pretty diverse range of bands too:
