October 2007
We’re hard at work on the third issue of Give Me Back. Thanks for all the support and all of the great submissions and contributions we’ve received for the new issue. We still have a ton of work ahead of us in the form of editing and layout, but once again I’m really excited about the content of this issue and can’t wait to get it out!
The contributions and reviews deadlines have passed, but we’re still accepting last minute ads for the new issue which should be in your neighborhood in early December. And it’s never too early to send in your contributions, submissions and/or items to be reviewed in the fourth issue.
In other news there have been a bunch of great shows around here lately keeping me psyched on punk. ¡APESHIT!, SICK FIX, THE NOJONS, NO AGE, PIZZA, MIKA MIKO, PARTYLINE, THE SHIRKS… the list goes on. I’m excited that tonight, Katy’s band, PROBLEMS, are playing on the backstage of the BlackCat while stand-up comedians perform on the mainstage!
Other things that are keeping my blood pumping while doing “shitwork”:
Three Records #1 by Chrissy Piper
MRR Radio and Sonic Overload
CRISCO THUNDER AND THE DISSECTION SOCIETY • demo
FUTURE VIRGINS • 7″s
THE NOJONS • “California 1983″
CROSSED OUT • discography LP (it’s been a while)
Tales of Blarg #9 by Janelle
Slug & Lettuce anniversary issue
HEY GIRL! • 12″
Another Country by James Baldwin
Also, I’ve taken a bunch of pictures of bands since the last issue, but we’re always on the lookout for other punk photographers, especially documenting scenes in other parts of the world. You can send a few of your recent favorite pictures to the PO Box or you can e-mail me at: givemebackzine at hotmail dot com.
