I remember, two and a half years, or something like that, ago when I for the first time met this interesting and hell of a fun couple which stands behind this 'zine during our trip to Italy on Distorted Bologna fest, and already there they were mentioning something about working on their own 'zine, doing interviews with some interesting bands, etc and now two years later finally I have opportunity to read their zine, that's nice.. this is already 2nd number, still didn't read 1st one but I'll do my best and try to snatch up of one copy in near future..
so, it's one more 'zine from last year's "boom" on domestic zine scene, another one on English but mostly orientated on 80's hc punk scene.. it's done in something clearer cut & paste style, front and back page are made of something heavier paper and the whole thing reminds a lot on that old 80's/early 90's style..
on all together 52 pages it brings one column about referendum that took place here in Croatia questioning some gay rights and the rest is musically part: interviews with Appendix, The Bristles, Hellbastard, Mauser (this one is funny drunk/high done in live), Giuseppe Carabino and Solunski Front, then some old photos of bands and author's thoughts about "the most important punk/hardcore releases from Zagreb from 1980-1991"..
interviews are okay but one thing strikes in the eye and that is when they usually get the shortest answer from the bands than question itself is and that pisses me off, and yes I know the feeling, sometimes you even catch yourself thinking to publish such interviews or not..
if you're into 80's hc punk you'll be most certian like it.. also very good thing if you want to know/learn something about hc/punk scene from that period, especially in ex-yu area which I consider quite interesting..
I'm not sure, dont really remember how much I payed for it but I think it was 10kn, but to be sure you can contact one of the authors through their facebook page or on this e-mail:
"A group of around 60 fascists (mostly from CasaPound) attacked activists from Cremona’s Dordoni social centre. The attack on seven or eight activists was launched by around ten people, and very soon bolstered by 40 more. Emilio, one of the activists and someone very well known in Cremona, was beaten with a bar and then kicked in the face and head as he was lying on the ground. The attack appears to have been prepared in advance, taking advantage of a football match to bring together fascists from Parma, Brescia and other towns with those from Cremona. Emilio is now in a very serious condition, he is in coma. Dordoni’s activists have made a complaint that the fascists were merely identified by the police and then released but that the activists who were defending Dordoni were charged.
Anti-racist activists from Cremona and from all over Italy have called for a national anti-racist demonstration in Cremona on 24 January, and for solidarity demonstrations in many different cities. Clashes broke out at an anti-racist rally in Cremona, Italy when around 2,000 protesters took to the streets to object to this attack by far-right group supporters. According to La Stampa, the protesters were trying to reach the headquarters of CasaPound and broke windows and vandalised streets in the process.
This episode is not isolated: there have been many different attacks let by CasaPound or other far-right movements over the last few months. In September, in Naples, a high school student was beaten by some far-right individuals. In Rome, in November, a group of far-right militants attacked supporters of Ardita San Paolo football team.
All the money from this compilation will go to Emilio for medical care and to CSA Dordoni squaters.
Racism: the maximum of hatred for the minimum of reason.

projekt o kojemu je već bilo riječi par puta na ovom blogu sad je i službeno pokrenut te je dobio svoju osnovnu formu.. ako nisi upoznat sa cjelom pričom provjeri tekst ispod i požuri čekirati golemu arhivu fanzina i još ponešto na sajtu fanzini.hr
"Kada je krenula ideja oko pokretanja stranice fanzini.hr, osnovna ideja je bila stvoriti prostor za digitalizaciju i, na neki način, spašavanje od zaborava što većeg dijela fanzina i srodnih materijala. No, nakon nekoliko razgovora o samoj temi i javnih diskusija koje su se održale na temu fanzina, postalo je jasno da taj prostor na internetu treba popuniti i drugim sadržajem, ne samo pdf verzijama (uglavnom) fotokopiranog materijala. Naime, kako bi cijela stvar danas imala smisla i bila nešto više od nostalgičnog arhivskog kutka na internetu, odlučili smo dodati i druge sadržaje na stranicu kako bi cijelu stvar stavili u nešto širi kontekst, pokušali sebi i drugima objasniti fenomen i važnost fanzina te specifičnost vremena u kojem je fanzinska scena bila najaktivnija.
Zapravo, gotovo da je nemoguće govoriti o fanzinima i sceni iz koje su proizašli bez da objasnimo širi kontekst, porazgovaramo s nekim od aktera i akterica, ali i vidimo gdje je uloga fanzina danas. Ili barem što bi mogla biti, ako već govorimo o svega nekoliko fazina koji trenutno izlaze. To da ih uopće ima govori o potrebi za takvom vrstom literature, kako nekad, tako i sad, pa ćemo pokušati ponešto napraviti i kroz ovaj digitalni medij.
Važno je naglasiti da ovaj projekt ne možemo odraditi sami, tko god to “mi” bili, jer ovdje moram pozvati sve zainteresirane da se priključe prikupljanju, skeniranju i digitaliziranju fanzina, kako bi taj arhivski dio bio što potpuniji. Prostor je otvoren i za druge oblike suradnje, cilj nam je objavljivati razgovore s ljudima koji su nekad bili uključeni u scenu ili s onima koji tu scenu čine danas, govoriti o bendovima, fanzinima i svemu onome što je za d.i.y. scenu bitno i zanimljivo. Ne želimo se ograničiti na bilježenje povijesti, već i na aktualne događaje.
I zato je važno da se svatko tko to želi uključi na neki način tako će stranica rasti i dobiti svoj konačan oblik. Baš onakav za kakvim će postojati potreba, što može proizaći samo iz aktivne suradnje. Baš kao i uvijek, ovaj poziv na suradnju ostaje otvoren, baš kao i urednička politika koju će definirati svi suradnici/e, baš kao što bi to trebalo biti i sa svim ostalim."
e ovaj budem po naški, možda mogu bolje da se izrazim.. inače tekst ima tri radna naziva: "E što je meni ovo trebalo!?", "Godine su tu, al pameti nigdje.." i "Fejer nije autor krusifajd fridoma!" pa izaberi koji ti bolje odgovara..
da, o ovome koncertu ili nečem sličnom u Zagrebu je bilo riječi još negdje u vrijeme zadnje ovakve požeške ekspedicije u Čakofcu, al onda je propalo, pa bio plan da bude više bendova i evo na kraju bila samo ova 4, al bitno da se dogodilo.. već duuugo tvrdim da je požeška scena najjača u nas bez obzira na Pulu, Zagreb pa nekad i Čakovec itd., a sad se to i definitivno potvrđuje ovom serijom koncerata koja polako postaje pod normalno kad 4-5 pž bendova zasvira u nekom rendom gradu, da malo ih je al su likovi fakat aktivni, najaktivniji zapravo na ovoj zamrloj sceni.. pošto nekolicina nas zagorskih pijanaca i jedan strejter nazoče gotovo svakome ovakvom okupljanju i opčepoznata stvar je da je ljubav prema pž bendovima javna i otvorena pa možda čak i obostrana, nije bilo neke velike šanse da ovo propustimo, unotač činjenici da sam ove bendove pogledal već 100 puta, samo Hellback u zadnje dvije il tri godine najmanje 10, a uz to Hellback je i jedini bend ove večeri da me baš ono istinski zanima, isto tak druga činjenica da moram ujutro na posao, znači dižem se u 4 i 15 i treča da vani pada snjeg ko blesav.. dogovor je bio da strejter pokupi dva pijanca u Asčini (birtija u kojoj smo ostavili pol života, životnu ušteđevinu, par organa i još neke stvari) gdje pijemo prve dvije te zezamo putem sms-a nestrplivog trečeg pijanca koji nas čeka u Marofu.. e da, zaboravih reči da me je putem do Asčine znači nekih 800m pješačenja svaki faking auto zalijal onom ogavnom bljuzgom, a bilo ih je ko za inat minimalno 38 tak da nismo ni krenuli već sam bil mokri ko pizda.. kad kupimo ovog trečeg prvo mu seremo kak to da nema nikakve pive sa sobom, al ono nije bed jer je već na drugom kraju Marofa benga gdje stajemo i kupujemo neki usis (jebem ti pivu za 18 kn).. naravno nismo izdržali dalje od benge na autoputu u Sesvetama gdje opet stajemo..
kad smo stigli u Medike prva reakcija je bila da smo očekivali više ljudi, malo popričali sa još jednim pijancem iz Marofa kojeg smo zatekli ispred te se zaputili na šank po starečeške, a kaj drugo, ne!?..
i tak koncert počinje negdje oko pol 11 (??!) i otvaraju ga Hellback.. i to ne da su ga otvorili nego su ga razvalili, meni 15 put bolja svirka nego prije par mjeseci u Čk-u, stari moj koji je ovo zver bend!.. ono sva sreča da Neno nije za stalno ostao u Australiji pa da svi ovi bendovi još sviraju, a i čovjek je životinja za tim bubnjevima, Gera s onim svojim netipičnim vokalom koji ovom bendu daje nekaj tak orginalnog i drukčijeg, nevjerojatno kak mi ovo dobro..
i fakat su ga pošteno odsvirali, standardni neki repertoar, par starijih, par novijih sa zadnjeg albuma koje mi se, priznajem nisu na prvu svidjele u vrijeme kad je album izašao, ali nakon bezbrojnih vrčenja na mobu tijekom gomile kilometara na bajku ovog ljeta i par puta lajv su me totalno osvojile i dobre su mi skoro pa isto ko i stare, pala je opet Violation od S.O.F.-a ko i u Čk-u, pala je i Najprljavija igra za ekipu koja još pravi papirnate fanzine, pala je i neka za Fejera koji stoji iza krusifajd fridoma il sam ovaj dio ja krivo skužio (koj' kurac?!, kolko zapravo ljudi misli da taj neki Fejer radi krusifajd fridom, pa kaj je s vama!?..), pa su odsvirali i neku radnog naslova "death metal stvar" il tak nešt i tu ide jedina zamjerka jer se stvar uopče ne uklapa u stil helbekare, ono dečki znamo da znate svirati i bez ovakvih stvari..
poslje njih dolaze Masakrist, najmlađe pž čudovište od ovih četvero.. sad taj bend uopče ne volim, mislim je to taj staroškolski grajnd koji sam nekad slušao mnogo, al me više ne dira baš previše, al zadnji put su mi u Čk-u bili zanimljivi skroz zbog nove članice na vokalu pa me baš zanimalo dal su se možda i poboljšali od zadnji put.. sad neznam dal je prva stvar bila jedna od starijih il novijih, al uglavnom izmjenjivale su se jedna za drugom pa je cjelo vrijeme bil osječaj da su dva benda istovremeno na stejđu.. taman se ufuram i mislim si kak su jebeni dok sviraju stvar sa ženskim vokalom i onda ga udave sa nekom sporom grajndarom koju je bilo teško za izdržati.. e pa dečki, ak može mali savjet - zajebite ovaj grajnd dio, radite nove stvari sa ovom curom jer koja je to pankčina, stari moj, predobro.. malo me čak i na Fight Back podsječa na momente, a mislim da bolji kompliment od tog ne postoji.. ono ak ništ drugo napravite dva benda, ovaj sa ženom nazovite Krist ili Diskrist, stavite materijal na net i jamčim vam da će vam u najmanju ruku profejn egzistenz ponuditi da vam naprave ploču, ne zajebavam se.. da i tokom svirke primječujem da je Emsi G naučio svirati bubnjeve.. znači dio sa curom odličan, ovo drugo ne baš moj kap of ti..
poslje njih na stejđ se penju Loš Primjer, a klub se sad i skroz popunjava, naravno dolaze i curice jer je navodno poznata stvar da ovaj bend posebno vole pripadnice ljepšeg spola.. ma kurac, reko bi ja, onda sam i ja bil curica, kolko sam samo vrtil Pozdrav Dabru kazetu u vokmenu u busu na putu do škole (evo i sad dok pišem ovo svira u pozadini ovaj noviji album), a frend koji je tad bil metalac me svaki put pital "kakvi su ti to gejevi?", a ja njemu bez beda "fak of, kaj ti znaš!".. a i dan danas ih volim pogledati lajv.. publika je više manje svaku stvar pjevala u glas s bendom, mene su najviše razveselile, naravno stare stvari, jedna me podsjetila čak na prve ljubavi (op, op) super mi je i ova nova Malo Sunca, a pogotovo E Ne (mnogo zajeban text..) ostale novije mi nisu baš super, ali ajde.. za kraj dok su već malo i zagnjavili odsvirali su još i pank pankerima, ali ovaj put sam ostal skroz ravnodušan na tu stvar, čudno.. još samo da spomenem da je ovom prilikom sa njima svirao Atlija kao zamjena na basu..
i zadnji dolaze Dislike.. kad se samo sjetim prijašnjih njihovih koncerata u Mediki, koje su to fešte uvijek bile.. ovaj put baš i nije bilo tak, za njihov nastup od mene dislajk, sori dečki al nekak se ne mogu oteti dojmu da na ova dva zadnja konca koja sam gledal (onaj u čk-u s amerima) ste odsvirali onak nekak prek kurca, možda se varam, neznam tak sam vas ja doživil.. posebno se ovo odnosi na onaj u čk-u.. netrebam ni spominjati svoje mišljenje o starom/novom dislajku jer sam dosadan već sam sebi s tim, al ove novije stvari mi skroz nezanimljive, a starih su ovaj put svirali manje nego ikad, tak da...
cjelo vrijeme je bil dogovor da idemo odma poslje svirke prema doma jer ja ujutro radim, a ja sam bil zabrinut da se ovi nebudu dali doma kad bude najbolja fešta na afteru pa pred kraj koncerta kad ja ekipi priopčavam nekaj tipa "ako sad spijem sedmu onda ja određujem kad idemo doma", a oni padaju na pod od smjeha.. sedma je naravno pala, al na sreču uozbiljili smo se i ubrzo krenuli doma podjeljenih dojmova (meni je bilo super), al bez ovog Marofskog pijanca koji je ostal kod jednog drugog marofskog pijanca na stanu u Zg-u.. dolazim doma oko 3, spavam jebenih 45min i idem na posao.. e stari moj kak mi je bilo teškooooo!.. definitivno više ne pijem kad idem na gig, a ujutro radim.. nije mi uopče žal kaj sam bil na gigu i neprospavanu noć bi izdržal bez problema na poslu, al ovih 7 komada + malo rakijice s Marofčanom je bilo tu mač, nikad više, never mor..
da, za kraj još samo malo, naime nameče se pitanje koji je to vrag sa pž bendovima da svi, ali svi imaju više faza i mjenjaju zvuk pa čak i kompletni stil.. imate tolko bendova, u svakom ista ekipa i svaki bend barem dvije faze.. pa daj pogle samo Nonsense (apsolutni prvaci), Fight Back (po meni je ogromna razlika ono kad je vokal Dena i kad je Kktz), Dislike, Masakrist, pa možda može tu čak i Bad Justice/Nepravda pa Senseless, sigurno sam još nekog zaboravil, ono ispada da samo Sprovod nekad i Loš Primjer još i danas deru istu briju.. kužim ja stvar da vi muzičari imate potrebu za nečim novim, da se razvijaju neke nove muzičke vještine i sl. al ako već imate 112 bendova i hočeš svirati nešt novoga promjeni ime, napravi novi bend kaj već.. neznam, možda me neko prosvjetli..
sve u svemu ,zanimljiv gigson, neloš provod, kronični umor dan poslje i pitaš: vos it vorthit!? - ofkors it vos, ofkors it faking vos! do iduče pž invazije na neki od propalih gradova, pozdrav od kuma zoksa!..
btw, nek se nitko ne uvrijedi tobožjim šovinističkim, psovačkim, zlo/dobronamjernim i možda prostim djelovima ovog tekstiča, znam da moram biti pažljiv jer pričamo o sceni koja kao mora biti politički korektna i sl., al jebem ti ja politički korektizam ako je to sam maska za scenu i ak si privatno (mislim "u slobodno vrijeme", hehe) gad i pederčina .. da definitivno mislim da je ekipa u pravu kad mi u zadnje vrijeme stalno govore da sam postal bezobrazan i da psujem puno, e jebiga, sori, takva su vremena.. okej zabrijal sam.. koj' kurac, heheh..
slike (klik on dem for larđer sajz) i video su besramno ukrađeni sa internetov, fejsbuki i sličnih zala tehnologije, thenks onima koji su slikali/snimali..
Distorzija Krika is 'zine hailing from Serbia, consisting mostly of interviews which is the thing I don't really like (what's the point of making a 'zine with only interviews!?) but to save the situation here are some really great artworks, story about Klaonica squat and few poems.. about design, it looks great and really reminds on the 'zines from 90's a lot, a little bit chaotic black/white cut and paste style, partly written by hand and completed with before mentioned artworks.. from interviews here are: Yack, Dispro, Agathocles, Ictus, Hellcharger, Nux Vomica, Krlja, Nelepa Brena, Proces, Disrape, Dažd and Dischaos.. some views are on english and other on serbian, they are pretty short and questions to bands (same as the answers) are somehow too usual in my modest opinion.. but when all the stuff is taken into consideration this is interesting new 'zine with a lot of space for improving and developing but worth of your attention and support.. if nothing else I found out about interesting band Disrape for which I didn't know before..
for the end some (boring but important) technicalities: 'zine is made by two friends ( interview with one of the authors can be read here..), it's published in April 2014, it has 60 pages on A5 format, it's free in paper form (all you pay are postage expenses) and also can be read online here..
friend of mine reminded me today on answering some questions for one 'zine, like some poll among zine makers here in Croatia on which I absolutely forgot and really don't have energy and will (and the time, as well to be honest) for answering on them at the moment (sorry goes to the author of this 'zine).. also the future of Mentalna Smrt 'zine is very uncertain, I mean one day I got all the enthusiasm and willingness of the world for writing and zine making but then another day I start questioning myself if there is any sense of doing it, I usually don't like material I wrote a couple days ago, etc, plus my big laziness, lack of free time, some other interests I'm in lately and one with another... this means I'm not really sure if I'm still part of this little zinemaking world and competent to answer such questions.. but, okay it's a theme for some other time and you'll be updated about everything related to Mentalna Smrt when the time comes..
and yes, all that reminded me that I could at least give some support and spread the word about people who aren't such lazy and hesitant bastards like me and their zines which I get few months ago.. so here we go..
first we have Special People Club which is is an art 'zine from Slovenia (!?) and this is it's 1st number.. it consists of some cool and some not so cool (hehehe) artworks and that's pretty much it, there's no any intro or texts pointing on what is all this here about but probably some artworks speaks for itself, it's like some author's personal/internal story crawls through artworks.. 24 A5 pages, black and white, I assume it's free, not really sure when it's published but I do believe it's somewhere in the second part of 2014.. okay that's all I know or don't know and if you're interested in try at:
ajajajajajajajjajajajajjaj!!.. why there's no more such bands today!??.. raw as fck recordings so play it loud!.. and btw visit this site: http://www.dogs-rouen.com/emile/.. thanks me later..
from their usa tour in November last year.. they were recognizable by two vocals, but it doesn't sound bad at all with only one.. check out for yourself..

"Afonia is powerviolence/grindcore band from Russia (Asha city, Southern Ural). Basically songs and lyrics of AFONIA reflect social & political position of the band, but some of them are founded on our personal experience, feelings and emotions.

so Afonia, which you could saw few weeks ago in Čakovec, as well as all over the europe while they were on tour are in search of label or labels which would release their new album.. if you are interested and could help write them at: afoniaural@gmail.com
at their bandcamp page you can hear one new song, as well as some old..
I get some divided comments about this gig from people who were there, I wasn't, unfortunately so I can't tell for myself.. I don't know...
photos (click on them for bigger size, they are great, btw, respect to the photographer) and one video are from Subsite and other videos are from this you tube channel.. enjoy!..
this is a small comfort for all of us who wasn't there..
P.S. - I wanted to post here more videos, but it is obviously, blogger doesn't let me or whatever, so for more live shootings from this gig visit above mentioned channels..
22.11.2014. Subota, 13h - Zagreb - Glavni kolodvor- besplatni topli vegan obrok za sve
'Food not bombs'' iliti Kolektiv 'Hrana, a ne oružje' nastao je 1980. u Cambridgeu, Massachusetts kao anti-nuklearni pokret i danas je to jedan od najbrže rastućih pokreta u svijetu. Aktivisti kolektiva HNO (Hrana, a ne oružje) danas diljem svijeta organiziraju akcije dijeljenja hrane, kao protest protiv militarizma, siromaštva, policijske represije, diskriminacije beskućnika, kapitalizma te općenito, sistema represije.
Kolektiv 'Hrana, a ne oružje' postoji u Hrvatskoj i akcije su održavane u više gradova. To je direktna akcija na ulicama i jedan od konkretnih načina aktiviranja u svojoj društvenoj zajednici.
okay, I'm putting off this for a way too long anyway, and even when you know that this is, the most likely the best 'zine here lately, at least in my modest opinion than there's no excuses for delaying..
this is actually 5th issue of Selftitled 'zine but 1st with just one of the authors (they were two in previous numbers) and released after a long time since the last one.. it comes out in July this year on A4 format with 32 pages done in classic black/white cut & paste style.. from content there are author's columns (the best part of the 'zine), interviews with Bosonogo Djetinjstvo and The Truth, then Dishumanity and Leechfeast tour reports on which the author was driver so they're interesting to read and to observe the whole thing about touring from this perspective and the text from This Is Our Job blog which is published here also for, as the author says, bringing back the politics in the Balkan zines..
I don't know, this 'zine somehow works just fine with me, we obviously share some similar or the same thoughts about the scene, social networking, some bands on tours, etc. the only objection is on representation of more or less the same bands as in every other domestic 'zine at the moment but I already discussed it with L who stand behind this 'zine and he says that he started to collect the materials before some other 'zines came out and that this is coincidence, even later he throw out some materials because the same thing.. but after some short thoughts by my side I can understand that and actually realize how scene here is bad, simply, there are only few bands that are really active, things go around mostly the same people and all this is unavoidable as a result.. from other texts/columns I will single out one about all Croatian 'zines which came out in last year or two, it's a good way to spread the word about this little uprising of 'zines here.. in the end, one more important thing, it's written on English so if you're from abroad and if you want read some interesting thoughts about the scene and some other things here, be sure not to miss it..
all in all, this is really good 'zine and I'm sure you won't regret if you get yourself a copy and read it.. the price is on donation or trade, but if you choose donation be aware that the 'zine is not so small and postage is pretty expensive here..
No Name, legendary punk rock band from Požega are celebrating 20 years of existence.. as support also two legendary bands Loš Primjer and K.D.P... if you have chance to be on this interesting event be sure not to miss it, 'cause I'm sure that the good fun is guaranteed..

Pitate se tko je prodao scenu? E pa Extreme Smoke nisu! Od kraja 80-ih, više il manje aktivno, deru iskreni, prvljavi i sirovi grindcore. Baš onakav kakvog volimo. Jedni od rijetkih preostalih iskrenih branitelja grindcorea dolaze nam u Čakovec…prvi slovenski grind bend se ne propušta!
Ivan mrzi ljude, ali dolazi u Čakovec! Grindcore/powerviolence trio iz Rusije se na svojoj europskoj turneji zaustavlja i kod nas. Brzina, deranje, vrištanje, krv, znoj i votka…kaj vam još treba.
Članovi legendarnog Human Errora u novom bendu. Ime se promijenilo, ali stilski se i dalje radi o žestokom i nabrijanom d-beat/crustu koji bude zadovoljil i ono najsmrdljivije krastersko u vama.
Jedini od pripadnika bogate suvremene talijanske hardcore/punk scene. Nabrijani riffovi, močan vokal i tupa tupa na bubnju…zapamtite circle pit ide suprotno od kazaljke na satu. Do sad izdali jedan EP, a povodom novog albuma The Rush na 2. EU turneju dolaze sa Il Ghiaccio.
Još jedni od mlađih pripadnika talijanske hc škole. Bubnjar iz La Prospettive koje smo nedavno gledali u Prostoru. Zvukom malo zajebaniji od Slandera, osjeti se i pokoji powerviolence utjecaj, ali na kraju krajeva I dalje vraški dobar hardcore/punk.
nadam se da su svi spremni, prvenstveno mislim na glasnice i jetra..
na koncertu će biti moguče kupiti kazete sa Mentalna Smrt izdavaštva (Hellback/Nuclear Altar - split, Wasserdicht - Iluzija Slobode, te najnovija Dishope - Peace is more than the lack of war), bit će vjerojatno i Crni Flomaster distribucija sa fanzinima, beđevima, anarho pamfletima i sl., a i kolege iz Požege su najavili da će dofurati nešto majica i muzike svojih bendova.. netreba ni spominjati da sav novac od prodaje od ovih distribucija/bendova ide za buduće projekte istih pa podrži ovu malu, ali vrijednu diy zajednicu..
Slobodno reći legendarni elektro/nojz/indastrijal one man band. Još od početka 90-ih se stvara kult Gruuthaagy obožavatelja, a nakon 5 godina Gruuthaagy se vraća u Prostor. Jedinstvena prilika pošto zadnjih godina Gruuthaagy nije pretjerano aktivan.
Kumovi deru krastčinu! Od brzog do sporog, s tonom različitih utjecaja, a opet toliko jedinstveno i toliko…požeški. Pank pankerima! https://www.facebook.com/hellbackara
yes, we do have a brand new release coming out from our little diy factory.. Dishope are d-beat raw punk band from Germany, but while listen to them you'll be sure they are somewhere from Japan.. classic for the genre lyrics and furious d-beat heavily influenced with Disclose and the like, which don't slow down for not even a second.. this time tape looks something different, it means the cover is printed from both sides with lyrics on it, it's all black and white/grey, tapes are also black with no print on them and they are in black boxes.. we go totally dark this time.. with tape goes free Dishope patch, as well..
the price is 3 euros/20 kn and it's available on e-mails:
Projekcija dokumentarnog filma Siniše Dugonjića Fanzini s Marsa, 2011., 34' Gosti: Marko Strpić, Sebastijan Brumec
Film Fanzini s Marsa nudi presjek fanzinske scene u Srbiji 90-tih iz osobne perspektive, kroz razgovore s akterima tadašnje scene.
"Devedesetih godina prošlog veka u Srbiji postojala je scena na kojoj su se muvali raznorazni likovi. Bilo je tu strip autora, ozbiljnih hardkorovaca, relativno mladih pisaca i pesnika, boraca za slobodu, te intelektualaca, budućih nvo ili pravoslavnih aktivista, filmaša, muvara i andergraund trendaša, verovatno i pokojeg foliranta ili egomanijaka, da se ne lažemo. Svi su nešto piskarali, katendpejstovali, recenzirali koncerte prijatelja, teoretisali, crtali stripove, pravili kolaže i onda to fotokopirali, slali poštom i ukratko radili ono što se sada zove social networking. Tada se to nije tako zvalo. Tada se to zvalo fanzinašenje."
what?..............discussion about book "Naša priča: 15 godina Attack!-a" (Our story: 15 years of Attack!, OE) and opening of an exhibition about Attack!

"Projekt autonomne tvornice kulture ili kulturnog centra pod nazivom ATTACK! pokrenut je u Zagrebu 1997. godine i u različitim je inkarnacijama uspio opstati do danas. Ljetos objavljena knjiga Naša priča: 15 godina ATTACK!-a (ur. Boris Koroman, Sunčica Remenar, Sven Cvek i Sanja Burlović; AKC Attack, Zagreb 2014.) sastoji se od dijaloga, intervjua, socioloških i etnografskih osvrta, osobnih svjedočanstava i mnoštva arhivskog materijala. Osim priče o Attacku, knjiga nudi i dio povijesti hrvatskog društva (1997.-2012.), ili barem pogled na to kako je ona izgledala iz rubne pozicije zagrebačke alternativne kulture.
U srijedu, 1.listopada, razgovarat ćemo s autori(ca)ma knjige o ATTACK!-u, o autonomiji i prostoru njegovog djelovanja, o DIY kulturi, hrani, muzici, politici, uličnim performansima, o učenju na vlastitim greškama, te o tome kako natjerati Sanju Doležal da pjeva pank.
Uvodnu riječ imat će Dea Vidović i Ben Perasović, a razgovor će moderirati Iva Zenzerović Šloser.
Nakon razgovora bit će otvorena i izložba o ATTACK!-u čiji postav potpisuje Nikola Mijatović Bangavi.
