This large size zine is packed with a shit ton of info on the underground music scene around L.A. One person seems to be doing all the work. The editor Chris is tirelessly here logging dozens of shows, reviewing new releases and interviewing a couple bands. The writing quality is akin to radio news in that it gives just the barest details of an event then its off relating accounts of the next event. For someone not familiar with the region or the music scene it might hurt your head to read. This particular issue aids in that endeavor by displaying several obvious typos--but perhaps it was a rush job to have it in people's hands by the recent L.A. zine fest. There's not much in the way of graphics with just a few photos and lots of open space. But when I read Stowaway a little more closely I did appreciate the writer's passion for his subject. Through his perspective one can start to see a community existing in a place where most radicals throw away as being populated by materialistic plastic people that is dominated by car culture.

Roman Candles show @ Bridgetown 5.28.31

Playing a last minute show at Bridgetown with Pat the Bunny, Bogsey and the Argonauts, Moon Bandits, and Andy Zambrano on Tuesday May 28th. Show Starts at 7:00 pm. $5 all ages. Click HERE for the facebook event. 

Pat had this to say on the Ramshackle Glory website:

"At the upcoming solo acoustic shows I will be playing a mix of Ramshackle Glory material and songs from a short solo album I put out recently called "The Mark Inside." I will not be performing Johnny Hobo or Wingnut Dishwashers Union songs at these shows, or at any other time.

Those songs represent a huge amount of suffering for myself and many of the people who cared about me the most during those years. I also do not feel represented by the lyrics to many of my old songs, which were written during a very different time in my life than where I am at now. For those reasons, among others, I am not willing to perform that material.
I know that not everyone who comes to a show is going to be aware of that, and that some people who know about it won't understand. Some people are still going to request the old songs, and I accept that as part of the deal in continuing to play music publicly. But I would still appreciate it if you didn't request those songs, whether my reasons make sense to you or not.

Thanks everyone. I'm looking forward to the shows. I haven't played solo in a long time. This is gonna be fun!

Pat, Ramshackle Glory"
