We at Kill Yr Idols HQ do love a good zine. Lovingly created, hand made and self published, these mini mags spread the word of creative, independent, free thinking individuals without censorship. And that we like.

Lots of treats at the moment then as last week, we picked up of the latest copy of She-Bang zine.  Perfect in its pastel hued deliciousness, this edition features travel guides, zine and music reviews and a very inspiring interview with Quasi. A perfect mix of brain-engaging articles and adorable illustrations. www.shebang-mag.co.uk

This Saturday, we will be at the Editions of You festival at Oxford Castle which celebrates DIY culture in all its glory. SEVERIN are performing live and there will be lots of lovely zines and artwork to get your mitts on http://editionsofyou.com/editionsatO3fair

And next week, April 14^th sees the launch of issue 3 of glossy zine-come-countercultural ladies mag Fat Quarter at the George Tavern. As well as the launch of the mag, there will be acoustic performances, DJs and free cake. We’ll be there, you should be too! www.fat-quarter.co.uk

DIRTBLONDE

This is not your average Rock 'n Roll band.

Fuelled by drum machine beats, Dirtblonde sounds like a crash between Suicide, Beat Happenning and The Stooges.

Visceral, menacing, bloody and poetic. 

Hailing from Liverpool, but sounding nothing like Liverpool bands (their words) they have played all over the UK, in Brazil and America (including a successful appearance at SXSW), bringing chaos and menace wherever they've been and receiving praise from the likes of BP Fallon, John Kennedy (XFM) and Steve Lamacq.

Essential listening are their debut EP, White Noise, Rubber Heart,  and the limited edition cassete Brooklyn/White Horses. You can have a taste of them here.

The Hangmen by Dirtblonde

Being already legends in the UK underground without being part of any particular scene, they had a quiet 2010 for reasons beyond their control but now are back with a string of gigs in Liverpool and London. to begin their 2011 assault. Not to be missed in any way!
