print! This Fanzine is born out of the true DIY spirit and the cold realization, that if you want something done, do it yourself! Also out of a contra movement to the way we mainly communicate and showcase our art these days, namely in an almost purely digital way. I strongly believe that a physical object providing a beautiful canvas breathes new value into the art we create and enjoy.

What is not traditional is the fact that each edition is a collaboration of the represented line up where each band gets space to promote themselves in their very own way. As this is the very first edition and in a way a prototype, we took the liberty to test the waters by making it a bit Jellly-heavy. The band encountered a massive line up change and in a way faces a brand new start so we felt entitled to the title story :)

I want to provide this canvas, a product worth keeping, a memory of a fantastic night out and the validation of our efforts making it happen.

Jellly News Introducing henry carpenter

Lucie Arnoux (willoe.carbonmade.com)

Jellly got picked up by the bollocks and shaken terribly when Stevie Bray, the original singer of the band walked into rehearsal one day in July this year (2 hours late) and announced out of the blue that he had had enough and wanted to quit. It did come as a shock but actually not really as a surprise, as his enthusiasm and input were gone for quite a while due to personal circumstances. So, for the first time, Jellly, who were envied by other bands for having such a strong bond between them and sticking together no matter what, were faced with a line up change. The 3 remaining tots were very humbled by the encouraging and supportive attitudes of friends and fans and the many offers we received of people, who wanted to step up to the task and follow in Mr. Brays footsteps.

On the following pages Henry and the other members of Jellly answer a few questions about themselves and share some of the art they do along side music.

Jellly, however, knew immediately who they wanted to get on board. Earlier the same year, Mickey was playing guitar for the Rock Musical Quentin Dentin, written and composed by Henry Carpenter. Sharing many of the same musical influences and working close together for a couple of months, the 2 had already formed a strong bond. It was therefore the most natural progression to ask Henry, who also used to front his own band, Jimmy Getaway, whether he would like to join forces and be the front man of Jellly. To our delight he accepted.

Henry Carpenter Sound and vision Interview by Jack Powers / photos Eggers S1ledge

Hi Henry, so you are now singing and fronting Jellly, hows that all working out? It’s working out pretty well! Jellly is a truly fantastic band of talented musicians and wonderful people, and it’s an incredible opportunity that they’ve given me. I’m loving playing live, and I’m really excited about the new songs we’re working on. Here’s to 2017!

THE GADFLIES a poem about internet trolls by Henry Carpenter

What would you like to see happen to popular music? I’m still waiting for the Neo-Punk Luddite movement, where all the young people smash their smartphones and go back to a simpler musical time, specifically 1978-80 ish, and once again the Pop charts are full of the angular problems of alienated young white men. I’ve been waiting for this for the last 6 or 7 years, so I’m pretty sure it will happen really soon now.

Oliver says that he don’t know how else he can virtually interact in a world behind screens, where you can’t hear the screams, the only affect is attack is it only a page, or a bountiful stage? aflame with drama to stoke and Oliver’s action is in your reaction to his killing joke

Which do you prefer..your synthesiser or your piano? Definitely the piano. It’s a complete instrument in the way that no synth can be - on a 6 octave electric piano you have so much range and versatility of tone, even if you’re not a very good pianist. The synth is a lot more fun to use in a group, but piano is 4 lyfe.

Aggravation is art, but where do you start when the blowhards are lined round the block but they won’t be contrite if you’re nice or polite so the means of instruction is shock

Is there a song that you have not written that you wished that you had ? As an artist, one hopes that one will connect with as many people as possible. I have also always had the ambition of writing a song that everyone knows. One also hopes that one will make a living. This is all to say that if I could have written any song, it would be ‘Hit Me Baby One More Time’.

with rhetoric vile and a prurient smile justice is ruthlessly served just the vox populi throwing mud in your eye but Oliver’s losing his nerve he thinks I don’t even know these people’s NAMES DON’T MATTER

Have you ever seen a real neat magic trick? I like Tom Mullica’s trick where he eats 100 lit cigarettes. The trick is that he actually does it. Apparently he can only practice it in front of a live audience, because ‘it really overrides the pain’.

so I feel just as lonely when we’re STRONG TOGETHER the seething mass, the truly free, the power, anonymity...

Stephanie views on the T.V. news that she’s up to no good she’s amused to no end by the foolish extent that she’s misunderstood

Richie perceives he has reason to grieve for his feelings, cold and deceased though they’re quickly ignored when his sex is engorged on an audio-visual feast

her family cower, as hour by hour reality loses its grip while the damned and maligned from the land of the mind render life as a cartoon strip

as humanity fights, he takes in the sights from his house, while he’s eating a pizza surveying the gore and the horrors of war with a smile like the Mona Lisa

the server farm hums, singularity comes the future of man is unfurled and Stephanie cries as she dots the ‘i’s of the Bible of the end of the world

but it seems so absurd that the analogue world is tied up in binary lies and Richie is faint, he can’t practice restraint when these horrible images flash in his eyes...

and she says I don’t even know these people’s NAMES DON’T MATTER so I feel just as lonely when we’re STRONG TOGETHER the awful truth, the thing to be, it’s over.

HERE IS A TASK, YOU CAN FASTEN A MASK PRETEND IT’S A NOBLE IDEAL JOIN THE NEW MASTER RACE WITH THE UNIFORM FACE YOUR NATURE’S A BUG TO CONCEAL

Mickey’s dad

When did you know that you wanted to be a guitarist and what was your first band? I first wanted to be in a band really…but a guitarist when I realized I could sort of do that and then after seeing the Beatles and the Stones and Kinks etc on tele..well! My first real band was called The Microns I was 10. We did covers like Sunshine of your love and All day and all of the night. I think sometimes we didn’t do the right chords. But mainly we did.

tape…you can do quite good things with digital nowadays but I still love tape delays. it is definitely the most useful and versatile of effects. Brings great depth and atmosphere to many sounds. Have you ever been star struck? Who was it? Yes I have..I once heard someone practising the intro to SHOUT backstage “we ea ea ea ea ea eaea ea lllllllll” and I thought “cool that sounds just like the record” and then she walked out of her dressing room and I was like “f*ck, that`s Lulu”. I said Hello but I think it came out like “bbbgbghgbghhbghg “ Anyways yep, Lulu.

What was your first guitar and what pedal? What pedal could you not live without up to this day? MY first guitar was like a ukelele, and I messed around on my Dads Hofner jazz guitar. The first proper electric guitar of my own was a Futurama 2 a red strat type copy with a whammy bar. I plugged it into a little Selmer valve practice amp which I wish I still had. The first effects pedal I owned was (I think) a tremulant/vibrato pedal..great Bo Diddley rock and roll pulsing sound. My dad built it. Had great big oven knobs on it. I then got a wah wah and then we could try to play all along the watchtower.

Tell us about your weirdest drug related trip WELL one was that a load of us went to Knebworth Festival..I think on the bill were Frank Zappa, The Tubes, Peter Gabriel loads of others I cant quite remember. Any how someone had procured quite a lot of LSD for the weekend so we started munching them like Smarties. They were quite strong and whilst walking back from the gig to the camping area we were all quite sure one of us had been knocked over by a deer. This mightily disturbed one of our number and in the middle of the night he came into my tent put his hands around my neck and

I think I would miss an echo chamber of some sort, preferably

started to strangle me..But he wasn’t doing it too well coz I could still breath although he was getting on my nerves. Another friend, also off his nut and a total expert in tripping came to my aid and started to drag him out of my tent by the feet. Unfortunately I was still attached and everyone seemed to have joined in dragging him off me. A few hundred yards down the soggy field I managed to break his grip and every body carried on dragging him away and they left him in the woods. All that was left to do now was find our tents again… which I don’t remember achieving. Everybody except him found this all extremely amusing. Weird about all of us seeing the deer tho….

Mr. octopus feels so much better when he’s painting.

what was the gig that impressed you the most? Who? Why? Hmm tough question..so many...I think Pink Floyd at the Rainbow Finsbury Park in 73. performing the entire Dark Side of the Moon for the first time was pretty spectacular, great sound, fx and lighting but the most impressive band I think had to be the Who at Charlton Football ground with Keith Moon on drums. Performing most of Quadrophenia. They were just soooooo good and powerful. And loud. What was really impressive about it was just how huge it all sounded yet they were not overplaying. Brilliant and ran rings around all the other “Big” bands of the time –Zep, The Stones etc.– at least the shows I had seen and pretty much anything I have seen since. Plus the Sensational Alex Harvey band were one of the support acts so very impressive gig. Oh yeah, and Roxy Music supporting Alice Cooper at Wembley Brilliant…oh.. I forgot about Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars at Harlow playhouse 72 that was well amazing and unexpected.. If the question had been “What is the Best 30p I ever spent? Then that would have been the answer..

Which artists would you say inspired you to become a professional graphic designer? When I decided to do a degree in graphic design, I didn’t have anybody in mind specifically. I just spent all my life drawing and painting. When I was a little older I also enjoyed photography a lot. So when the question arose what I wanted to be, my dad suggested graphic designer as it seemed the most lucrative and safe option, combining my interests. He said, forget photography, you’ll starve and I actually didn’t think of illustrator being a proper job either. I guess this is just not comunicated as a career option in Switzerland, just as music isn’t – it’s just something you do as a hobby on the side. Switzerland has a big reputation for turning out great graphic designers during the Bauhaus epoque so everybody was patting me on the back when I was accepted at Basel art school.

Little did I know that your bread jobs will be all but creative and the shift from print to screen will have such a big impact on how we design things... Sorry, this wasn’t really answering the question :) When did you first become inspired to play music? and which instrument did you learn first? I played music since I could hold a recorder and blow hard enough to make a sound. My first instrument I learned properly was the violin which I swapped for guitar when I was 12 as I wanted to play rock music and the violin didn’t fit into the image I had in mind then. My dad had an electric piano where you could record and layer 3 tracks so me and my mates were composing songs after school from a very early age. I remember one song in particular where we rapped over a neat little theme we came up with.

which three characters from history would you have over for dinner That’s hard. So many. I think Mozart knew how to party, Toulouse Lautrec and Edith Piaf. what was the best gig you’ve ever been to? The Stranglers at the Roundhouse pulled my heart strings the most but Muse were the most impressive. Where is the best place you’ve been on holiday? Despite my prejudice I really enjoyed my 2 trips to the states, California, Nevada and Arizona the first time and New York the second. Just a shame it was with my asshole ex boyfriend. I have to go back and experience it with nice people.

It’s been the weirdest year has 2016 . So much rising death and so much rising corruption and so much misdirected social disruption... I’ve lost my job and it feels like the eve of destruction.... But of course it would do for me... Of recent years I’ve become warmer in some areas and extremely cold in others. Some might say I’ve wasted my life and maybe it’s true that I haven’t done enough. But this echoey brain of mine gives me the strangest of insights, in many different ways...Although misguided to many they maybe, they now get my inner calm my warmth and my twisted sanity...

2016 was the year I had to convince myself I was no genius but it did seem like it at times. Even if only and just – just to little old me. 2016 was the year I realised we were living inside some kind of fantasy an insanity – although many may say it’s all bullshit – some of us kind of are, in a compartmentalised reality, behind. Our own personal day to day lives... 2016 was another year I was glad to have no kids. They came up to me in my imagination and said ‘thanks dad... It’s all peaceful here’. So I gladly accept it as the Darwinian breeze whips my genes off and into the dust...... As for Christmas... i’m happily the Grinch...

ideology to operate as criminals..stop stripping the assets meant for the many, stop pandering to the right.. stop fanning the flames of poverty and death”.

I haven’t slept for two days and i’m an unemployed asshole.... And it’s nearly 2017 happy new year!!!!! As a musician, who and what have been your biggest influences? Hendrix and the musicians that played with him....Led Zeppelin ... Zappa..... hip hop.... I could go on and on... What is your greatest fear? myself.

Have you got any recurring dreams? my recurring dream is that i’m the dude... How do you like your eggs in the morning? how do I like my eggs in the morning? Unfertilised.

What advice would you offer to our current political leaders? “grow up and stop using

What POLLYPIKPOCKETZ means to me by Frog age 52 and 11/12ths God that’s so hard to put into words isn’t it .... It’s a bit like swimming through a pool full of warm marshmallows and kissing electric eels on their bottoms ...... Or having steamy sex with an armadillo dressed up as Norman Wisdom ..... It means many nights staying up way beyond my bed time and the others all make me drink this funny tasting pop and smoke some special vegetarian cigarettes and then my head goes all woozy and I eat 100 packets of crisps .......

Sometimes we get up on the stage and me and that bloke with the long hair that stands on the other side to me plug these funny shaped wooden things with these metal strings on them into these sort of boxes that make it go TTTHHHHHHWWWAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHJJJJJJJJJJER-

2x Richard Stickley

EEEERROOOOOOWWWWWWW......... Then that other bloke at the back who gets to sit down all the time starts hitting things ...... BASH BASH BASH BASH BASH BASH BASH and then after that the pretty lady that stands at the front doing the funny dancing goes OOOOOOEEEEEOOO OOOOEEEEOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEOOO OOOO Into the microphone and then all the people who aren’t on the stage go BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO and then we go and have more funny pop and vegetarian cigarettes and then I’m sick ...... I Really like all the people who I’m in the band with apart from the drummer , the guitarist and the singer who are all horrible people, sometime they even make me

learn the songs and stuff and they’re only interested in doing that awful , loud shouty music and never want to try any gregorian chanting dressed as teletubbies or barbers shop acapella doom metal nursery rhymes in f sharp ..... Or even licking pensioners ears at bus stops or putting salt in our eyeballs or any of the fun activities I suggest for that matter ...... But seriously though I wouldn’t swap it for the world ...... Well, unless somebody came up to me and said ‘would you like to swap being in that group for the world ?’ .... Then of course the answer would be ‘yes’ ...... We’ve come a long way since we started , as I write this I am in Dorset .... Which is a really long way , especially if you crawl !! ....... What I’m looking forward to most is our difficult

Getting to know: Yur Mum are: Anelise Kunz – Vocals and Bass Akos Gado – Guitar Fabio Couto – Drums

An improbable band with an equally improbable name and formed by the unconformity with contemporary pop music exhaustion, East joined West to play a fusion between grunge, punk, hard rock, metal, blues and anything else that is loud, noisy and comes from the heart. The female-fronted three-piece joined instruments for the first time on a cold night in London, 2015. After several beers and some bourbon, they went to an industrial warehouse in Acton called Survival Studios willing to make ‘awesome music’. As the name suggests, the band’s attitude is unpretentious and irreverent. They just want to make music. Whether in the mood for a one night stand or Shakespearean romance, Yur Mum is ready to flirt with the unexpected.

Yur Mum has had quite a busy year. After playing 24 shows in 8 months, supporting bands such as Hands Off Gretel, White Miles, Finding Kate and Dream Nails, the newcomers have finally released their debut single ‘Igor The Gipsy’. Now Anelise, Fabio and Akos will talk a bit about Yur Mum. OK, to kick things off we’ve got to ask the story behind the band name? Anelise: Well, we needed a name and couldn’t think of anything… Fabio: Yeah, At the time We had our first gig booked and during rehearsal someone said it as a joke and then we spent half an hour making mum jokes. At what age did you first discover music? Anelise: Cannot remember exactly, but from a very young age, and completely different styles. Started piano lessons at around 8 years of age but always wanted to play the guitar so I could take it with me anywhere, and always liked to sing. Akos: I think I was somewhere between 5-6 when my sister got her first Guns N Roses cassette; Lies. And from then on I was pretty much hooked onto RandR. But even earlier apparently I had a toy plastic guitar with some fake strings that I use to “play” while listening to my dad’s old vinyl records. I always wanted to play piano when I was younger but never got to it sadly. Guitar followed only at a later stage. Fabio: My mum (lol) told me before I could speak I got hooked on The Police’s “Every little thing she does is magic”, she said she had to play the song in a loop otherwise I’d cry.

What are your musical influences? Anelise: Too many artists and music styles have and still are influencing me. I have great difficulties on answering this question, always. The answer varies depending on the moment I find myself in. Sometimes is that one song from that one particular artist that had the power to make you more creative, or take more risks, chose another path. At this moment I will have to say PJ Harvey, David Bowie and L7. Fabio: I agree with what Ane said, it really depends on how you’re feeling at the moment, but I’m a rocker. When I was kid I saw a Beatles documentary and I’d imagine how fun it should be to play

Live in a band. Kurt Cobain gave me the push to form my first band, so my background is more alternative, grunge and punk music but I love 60s psychedelic bands, 70s rock’n’roll and metal and 80s hair metal. Akos: Anything really. I think as long as it is good music it can be influential. I prefer 80s – early 90s rock but can wander into anything depending on the mood. Don’t want to start listing band names because I wouldn’t be able to stop. I think as far as guitar playing goes blues was always a huge influence

Tommy Keeli

T Chances, LONDON What age 24/3/17 The Sound of Alternative Music did you The bird’s Nest, London write your first song/ 1/4/17 The Blazing Rag Mosley, Manchester start play- 16/4/17 Easter Punk and Alternative weekender ing/start The Maze, Nottingham singing? 28/4/17 An Alternative Gathering Presents Fabio: I The Unicorn Live, London probably 6/5/17 Hanwell Hootie Festival wrote my 1st song 27/5/17 Blank Generation 2 Festival when I was 13/7/17 2017 In support of Red Dogs (Japan) 14. It was The Unicorn Live, London shit. Anelise: I started playing piano at 8 (I think) and my first “decent” song I wrote together with friends, and I believe it was at the age of 17/18? But I perform since I can remember, school plays, reciting poems, playing piano, whatever I could be part of I would. Akos:: I think it was around 16-17. A really good friend of mine came up with a brilliant riff and some lyrics and we made a song out of it. It was a really nice ballad.

What inspired you to first start writing/performing? Anelise: I would perform whenever I could when a child, but it took me a while to find myself comfortable writing music. Don’t remember any inspiration really; at school it was more of an excuse to miss classes. Akos: I think coming up with ideas for songs or riffs came naturally. I never really learnt how to play guitar just got one put on a song and tried to mimic it as best as I could. After a while you get bored and start just doodling around and say:” Hey that sounds ok … what if I do this after”. Inspiration for first start performing or picking up the guitar really was to get girls of course. Fabio: Some friends from school invited me to form a band. I’d probably never start if it wasn’t for them. From the beginning the idea was to write our own music. I love the thrill of playing your own music and being judged by the listener, so I never really understood boy bands and pop singers that perform other people’s music. Where’s the fun in that?

Deb OUt ut SIN NOW GLE !

And finally, aside from world domination, what are the immediate plans for Yur Mum? Anelise: perform, perform and perform. Akos: I think we became gig junkies at this point. We just want to play! Fabio: I’m just happy to be able to carry on playing gigs for as long as I can. My climax would be to play a crowded festival. Maybe we’ll have time for a new single or an EP… Who knows?

Inglourious Thunder Cunts a cocktail of whiskey, vodka and grappa Rising from the ashes of the Slurps in August 2015, the notorious Inglourious TC’s banded together with the goals of playing great rock n roll and having a fuck load of fun!! Like a band of brothers with a sister, their filthy blend of punk and rock n roll has been disgusting and engaging concert goers in equal measure - a volatile and dangerous cocktail of whiskey, vodka and grappa laced with subliminal traces

of anarchy and rock n roll stereotypes. The Inglourious TC’s are yet to record in spite of a heavy gigging schedule as Dr. Grappa is always too hungover, but the rumours are that they will be doing something in early 2017. In the meantime, as was their original goal, they’re focussing on having a load of fucking fun!!! If you’ve foolishly not seen them yet, check out our gig dates!

Jessie Pie Exotic Creature

A Sloppy Summary Pairing eclectic guitar and vocals, J.P. spins original material steeped in jazz, blues, folk and rock with smatterings of humour, soulfulness, music hall and hip-hop. Drawing from her cabaret beginnings at the start of London’s vaudeville revival, she maintains ongoing musical collaborations alongside this happy solo niche that enables her to show off pretty ditties and showcase meatier stuff in stripped-back form. Ritzy but rootsy, avante-garde and alternative yet old-fashioned in her way, the Pie comes à la mode: perfect kick-off to any sticky punk-rock and rock ‘n’ roll ball.

Non-mission statement / J. Pie lyric: “Ah, at last this aching hole has been filled… By fifteen hours of transcendental meditation, and yes, I am totally chilled. I just want to log onto Tinder and have virtual sex while drinking herbal tea. And embark upon a restless rampage of proto-hippie, affectedly C21st, pseudo enlightenment-ed, poncy, pantsy, piss-brain relationships, all equally insubstantial and free.”
