Ugly Things #67

 

I always recommend the Stax's Ugly Things zine, and this is a particularly good ish. A great, extensive article on the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band from Mike, David Laing gives us a huge (part one!) interview with Ed from the Saints, who comes off as a very hip guy with great taste (with an announcement of a Saints tour, with Marc Arm, of all people, singing since Chris has passed), there are oddball 60's combos like the Weird Herald and the Fringe, more 70's punk rockers with part 3 from Rob, the guitarist of the Subway Sect (who comes off as a super pretentious snob - which I have probably been guilty of before - but with some great tales), 80's psyche combo Plasticland and the usual innumerable reviews of books, CD's and whatever else comes along!

Something for just about everyone here and the amount of info on each group boggles the mind. The zine has evolved into practically a musical novel of classic combos. Always gonna say - get it!
