Another update in regards to Ack Ack Ack issue 3

Here's a couple of RED DONS photos that didn't make the final cut for the upcoming issue of Ack Ack Ack.  Wish they would come and play shows in LA again / soon.

From a house show in Monterrey Park, CA from July 2008.

The two B&W photos above are from their show at the Smell the night after the  house show from above. 

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 #2 ZINE

$2.50

Second issue of this killer photo zine! Contains multi-pic photo spreads of Wrangler Brutes, Hellshock, The Rites, No Hope for the Kids, Tear It Up, Assfort, Cut the Shit, Born Dead Icons, Kid Congo, and Romantic Gorilla, along with an introduction explaining what the author is up to. If you're into photo zines this one is the shit, check it out!

ACK ACK ACK #2 is NOW AVAILABLE!!!!

After a long delay, the new issue is finally out. I decided to not screen print the covers this time around. Simply because it would take that much longer to get this out. I'd rather just get the zine out and move on the next issue, and other projects that are on the table.
So, for those interested, here's what's up with this issue:
40 pages.
Photocopied.
5 1/2 x 8
$5.00 ppd.
Only 100 copies made.

Below are some samples scanned direct from the zine:

Cut The Shit made the cover this time around. 

Spread from the Born Dead Icons section. 

Tear It Up from their 2002 tour. 

Assfort from their two Gilman shows. The photo on the bottom right was also the cover for their EP on Prank Records. 

Would you believe the third issue is in the planning stages?

Two posts in one week!!

Okay, I just finished selecting the last couple bands to fill the remaining pages of the second issue of Ack Ack Ack. One of those bands is Tear It Up. I've posted a photo that didn't make the cut. This photo was from what turned out to be their final tour in 2002. Of all the Y2K thrash bands, Tear It Up is the one that has aged quite well. Never whacky, no hollow poses. I guess you could say they were the real deal.

All that is left for this issue is laying out the covers, printing the covers (another screen printed job), writing an intro and some minor details and it should be out.

I'm thinking of printing somewhere between 50 to 100 copies.

Keep checking back periodically for updates.
