Avocado Press #1 - "Glimpses"


We are trying to bite off more than we can chew, but even if we are...oh well. Gotta go bankrupt sometime, right? Along with our upcoming music releases, we are also going to be releasing our first written work. To be semi-appropriate, this will be under our "Avocado Press" title. Really, it just feels fancier. We will be publishing the first issue of G.A. La Bonte's GLIMPSES, his zine that he has been working on for the past 4-6 months. GLIMPSES is a collection of interviews of people that have had some sort of influence on La Bonte and/or the community he lives in. This first issue will feature three interviews: firstly, Christopher Gordon of Roman Candles and writer/editor of The Stowaways, second Elliot Babin of Touche Amore/Dad Punchers, and finally Rudy Murillo of New Brigade and organizer of Destroy L.A. Fest. The issue will also feature short reviews on the bands that make up the current Yorba Linda scene and photography by the author. The zine is in final stages of design, and will hopefully be printed by the middle of the month. Depending on the length of the zine, the cost will be between $2-$3. More details to come once we get closer to printing. We are also working on some other works that we will be putting out through Avocado Press within the next few months, so please keep tabs on that.

the Roman Candles and the Bedhed tapes are in progress. Finances are a bit tight at the moment, but we are aiming to still have them done by our goal times. Thanks for those who have purchased tapes and 7 inches so far. Every dollar counts, and we really just appreciate that you like the artists we like too. Hope to hear from you soon.
