The Miscreant - Issue 47

WANT MORE MISCREANT? To My Miscreants, We’ve come to the close of 2013. What at year! It has been great to bring on so many new writers this year, and to feature so many awesome artists. Thank you all so much for being a part of this project. I cannot wait to see where we go in the new year! We’ll keep having issues every month, which means that March will mark our 50th issue.

Stay tuned for details on some sort of birthday party/celebration for the occasion.

Also, it’s a real treat to sign things off with such an sincerely wonderful rock band. Many thanks to Sam and Radiator Hospital for being on the cover of the final issue of the year. I saw them perform in a basement a few weeks ago. The venue (or apartment, same difference) is called Suburbia and there are a lot of pictures of sharks everywhere.

Chumped was having their album release party, and everyone was quite rowdy. At some point during “Our Song,” I looked around and saw every person in the room moving and most everyone was singing along. I was slinging the speakers! It was so loud and lovely. Andi and Tori and Joel and a bunch of us were all grooving along -- I knew I had to talk to these guys.

Now it’s time to gear up for the new year and issue 48! Submissions for the zine are due January 21. No previous writing experience is required. Send in your musical resolutions for 2014, your q&a with your high school drum instructor, your top 10 record stores in the state of California, anything to do with music. Send your submissions by the deadline to Jeanette at themiscreant@miscreantrecords.com. Also send questions you have about getting involved with the Miscreant!

Also, look to miscreantrecords.com and the Miscreant Facebook for more info on the music you read about here and more! Check out the Miscreant video series Sad Kids Club at www.smarturl.it/SadKidsClub.
