Tuba Frenzy

Had a lovely message from Chiff-Chaff concerning my lists and musical musings ,and primarilythanking me for the link to the TUBA FRENZY blog site. I still have two copies of said magazine which i am keeping because of some fascinating interviews,esp. Issue 4 (1998) with Oval and Sam Rivers,and a look at the short lived 99 Records label ,hub of the No Wave movement in New York.







I might display these at the upxoming Phoenix Gallery open day in October,since Steviecat will be displaying all his zines,and playing music,I might add to it both ways.

I have been trying to find a website for the New Zealand zine "Opprobium". I have issue 5 (july 1998) which has an interview with William Parker,Masayoshi Urabe and Dredd Foole. But Google din't come up with anything except a general zine blog site. I shall keep searching with different parameters.

Opprobium founder Nick Cain

Thanks to Dave B,i now have a link to an interview with Nick Cain, founder of Opprobium,and as confirmed ,no website available now as it's long gone. http://www.furious.com/perfect/opprobrium.html
