Ugly Things #61 - Winter 2022

 

Anyone who has ever read my blog knows that I will never NOT recommend Mike and Anja Stax's fine fanzine, Ugly Things, as it is always a high quality, highly informative mag filled with more musical information that you can possibly conceive of! From in-depth interviews to reviews of every format and media, UT can't be beat!

In this ish we get articles on garage rockers The Magicians (insanely massive at over 30 pages long!) and the Chancellors (stars of Back From The Grave), an interview with the Jefferson Airplane's first bassist (before Jack Cassidy, which is another convoluted but entertaining tale), part two of Detroit/LA pre-punk rockers the Dogs fascinating story - here documenting their time in Hollywood in the 70’s, Lou Reed (an article speculating on his mystic side, based on some interviews and a lot of conjecture), no-wavers Mars and a ridiculous amount more!

Certainly one of the best physical  Rock’n’Roll zines going on today - and still going strong after 40 (!) years! And don’t forget to check out their online store for lots of other fab Rock’n’Roll related items!
