Garage Issue 2 Returns
As part of *Flying Nun Records' *series of digitally re-publishing the * Garage* music fanzine, Issue 2 is now available
again as a PDF download.
*Garage #2 *is the hardest to find and physically a little odd as well. Printed in a strangely shaped format, with a
great cover featuring hand written lowercase uphill “garage” that somehow emphasises both “garage” and “rage” atop an
image of a blurry dark hand playing a left handed guitar. It’s all askew and delightfully unsettling.
And while *Garage #2* was originally hard to read it is less so here. With cover stories on the *Sneaky Feelings
*(where it is noted that “Martin tells the history of the band like he should write a book about it” which is what
Matthew Bannister does do many years later), *The Puddle* (read about the bands early development) and *The Orange* (and
Andrew Broughs pre *Straitjacket Fits* experience).
And there are other good bits too. A rundown on how Dunedin’s Radio One was getting organised in 1985 is timely, a live
review of *The Chills** *and for this version editor Richard Langston has also compiled a podcast to accompany as you
scroll through the digital pages.
To coincide with their 30th Anniversary, Flying Nun Records is re-publishing all six issues of *Garage*, with a new one
out each month for the rest of the year.
