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.

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. 

ACK ACK ACK #3 underway. Part 2. Some rejects...

Started laying out issue three tonight. Everything is very rough at the moment, obviously. But it's looking like it could come together pretty quick, and come out by December.

This photo and the one below were taking at the Smell on June 28, 2002. I believe this was the only time they toured on the West Coast

Here's a couple E.T.A. photos that didn't make the cut.

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.

If interested, get in touch. You can paypal or send payment through the mail.

Bands in this issue are:

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.

ACK ACK ACK #2 in the works. Really!

After much hemming and hawing, and talking about it and talking about it, the second issue of Ack Ack Ack is in the works. In fact, in 2009 I intend to put out about four new issues. Why the hell not?!? I have over ten years of material sitting in negative sleeves on the top shelf in my work space closet. So get ready. For now, here are three shots of Cut The Shit that are NOT going to be in the new issue. The only reason is space is limited. Other than that... Enjoy and keep checking back for updates and more peaks of shots that didn't make the final cut in the upcoming issue.

These three shots were from their last show at the Smell in 2004.
