I'm now focusing on finishing up the first issue of Tastemaker, and have a couple other projects that I need to make some headway on, which is going to be the focus of my summer. I'll definitely have another issue of Ack Ack Ack ready before this year is through.

ACK ACK ACK #3 cover is complete!!!

Started working on the cover this morning, expecting it to take a while. Immediately after putting a little of it together I realized it wasn't working. So it went into the recycling bin, and I put this one together, which is far better than the original idea I had.
So, basically the zine is complete. I'm going to begin printing them up in two weeks.
If you want one shipped to you in the US, they're $5 ppd (get in touch for paypal address). Stores, distros, etc, please get in touch for wholesale rates. Thanks!
I'll post the inside pages once the zine is printed.

Below is the cover laid out flat. The left hand side, with the band names is the back cover. The right hand side, is the front.

Update on ACK ACK ACK #3....

About half way finished with putting together issue #3 of ACK ACK ACK. As it stands now, the photos of the bands that are already placed in this issue are: SPAZZ, DIE MONITOR BATSS, GOGOGO AIRHEART, AND E.T.A.. I have a few more bands to add, obviously. This next week will be spent choosing and scanning images of the yet to be decided bands. I'm thinking of including the Oath, Behead The Prophet NLSL, Red Dons, and/or Limp Wrist. Maybe Life's Halt? Or Paintbox?

For now, here's a couple of GoGoGo Airheart photos that didn't make this issue. And it's not that I think any less of these images. In fact, I really like them. It's just a matter of space... And for the story on these photos; These were shot at the eviction party for Three-One-G on April 13, 2002. A lot of bands played that night. Of the ones I was able to see, I was most impressed by these guys.

ACK ACK ACK #3 is now in the works, and issue #2 is still available.

Okay, this past weekend I started gathering images for issue 3 of Ack Ack Ack. Planning to have it out by the first of 2011, if not by the end of this year. I'll post a line-up of who's in it by December. For now, here's a photo of Scholastic Deth, who are going to be in this issue. This photo is from their final show, which was at Mission Records. Remember when it was a big deal for bands to play their final show?

Also, the fanzine I've been slowly working on should be out by the first of the year as well. And then there's another project I'll announce when there's a bit more work completed.

Ack ACK ACK #2 almost complete.

I'll announce the complete line-up for this issue in a week or so. But I should have everything placed tonight, and will spend the next few days getting all the little details worked out, then it's complete.

For now, here's some more Tear It Up pictures that didn't make the cut.

Would you believe the Ack Ack Ack #3 is starting to get planned out?
