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.

Ack Ack Ack #3 just about done update 1,000,325

Alright, finished the introduction and laying out the inside pages. All that is left is the cover. Expect to see this out around the second week of May. I will post images and ordering information once it's all here and assembled.

Still have a few of second issue available. Sending 20 over to Refuse Records in Poland this week, and that will leave me with less than 10 copies. 

Ack Ack Ack #3 pret'near finished!

Just finished putting some minor details in the new issue of Ack Ack Ack. All that is left is finishing the introduction and designing the cover. Should be finished in the next week. As soon as I get them printed, I'll post all the details here.

Just like the first two issue, only 100 printed.

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.
