PALMERSTON NORTH
Valve magazine is out, a bumper crop this time, 108 pages contributed from all over the place, and a super cool record showing the talents of 16 of the swamp’s finest bands, including: Meat Market, The Ashvins, Froit Head, The Livids, Scratch, CUNT, E Haw, Dog Tooth Violet and more. The whole package can be yours for only $lO by writing to Yellow Bike Records at PO Box 586, Palmerston North ... Vortex Victims have broken up after a whirlwind ride to fame, and the release of a tape, and inclusion on Hard of Hearing 3 (Spotty Dog Records, PO Box 1500, Palmerston North) ... the Susans are recording at York Street Studios this month ... Froit Head turned down the opportunity to play at Mountain Rock ... the Livids are releasing a CD through Spotty Dog Records. Featuring recordings from the last couple of years, this should. be out next month sometime (and it’ll be bloody good) ... also on the bloody good front, Blunt finally release a 7” single — four great tracks on genuine handout vinyl. Personal news from Blunt is that Boris has lost weight while Mat has gained weight. Zane stays the same. In the pipeline are 7" releases from E Haw, Dog Tooth Violet and Dropline as well as a split 7” from Stumpthumper and E Haw ... the recent Mind Machine Overload multi-media event at the Stomach was a great success, with plans afoot to take the show to Wellington in the new year ... Jarred from Motorsheep has been evicted from his flat for having rowdy parties that attract the attention of the Police. Good punk rock credibility in that one.

Tha Ashvins tour starts in Napier on December 2 ... what’s happened at Radio Massey? The same news again, 99.4 FM’s new on air studio should be ready in a couple of weeks.
