Zine Scene
You may have seen the first issue of new Dunedin ‘zine Garage lying around on the counter of your local record shop over the past few months but then again you may not. Well the second issue is just out and features (along with such technical quantum leaps as the introduction of Letraset) stuff on the Orange, the Puddle, Sneaky Feelings, the Rip, Radio One, other fanzines and a welter of news and reviews.
Garage is the baby of repatriated Dunedinite Richard Langston, who returned from
England last year and decided to apply some of the things he’d seen in English fanzines to one of his own, back home. True to the genre it’s rough, spirited and enthusiastic. It quite clearly fulfills the basic function of fanzines, to give a grassroots coverage of the music that surrounds the writer(s), in a way that "major” (!) publications such as this one have neither the space nor the resources to do. As a very personal endeavour, it’s probably a lot of fun and a lot of work.
The new Garage (and also No.l, which features the Verlaines, Chills and Tall Dwarfs) Is available for $1.50 from 21 Royal Crescent, Dunedin. RB
