MANIC FANZINE "THE COME-OUT" RELEASE PARTY
MANIC FANZINE "THE COME-OUT" RELEASE PARTY
"Maniac should have happened ten years ago, born of the same circumstances as it was this year, and what would have been much more on the pulse and in an era now ceased to be. However, it lives now, created and managed by J. Barger, and serves as a community marker and journal for which to document what still lives here in the Quad Cities. Influenced heavily by "Killer" fanzine from the 1980s operated by Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth, "Maniac" is a punk leaning music + arts based fanzine for the QC area formatted with a spotlight article, headline article, photography + art sections, and a community services page. This zine's goal is to lend information and support to local punks who may be in need and don't know where to look for help, and to promote bands and artists in the area with hope to increase donations. THE COME-OUT is a release party and feature for Maniac's first issue of the same name, and physical editions with be available for the first time by donation if you can. There will be no digital edition for issue one."

HEARSAY
hearsaychicago.bandcamp.com/album/glossolalia
Comprised of visionary experimental sound artist Allen Moore, versatile cellist / guitarist / composer Ishmael Ali, and dynamic drummer Bill Harris, Hearsay cultivates a distinct and captivating aesthetic that traverses ethereal dimensions, gradually morphing rhythmic tapestries, and electrifying improvised soundscapes that bounce off of free jazz and textural noise music to land on a kind of wild and bounding avant-groove music that is as pleasing as it is avant-garde.
support TBD
