Uniqulture’s Arts Hearts: Rising

Inspired by grassroots music venues (GMV) champion, Jean Genie’s Panda Power Parties. Live music socials - introducing LA Salami, Gabi Garbutt, Granfalloon, annual Glastonbury fave, Lekiddo Lord Of The Lobsters and more - to new friends.

10th May 2024, The Ferret, Preston, saved. Love ya, Music Venue Trust! BBC TV North clip with CEO Mark Davyd (and a clip of Jean Genie’s Massive Hugs soundchecking)

Fusing performers, creators, dreamers, supporters. A kindly house party, with cake. Events Dept. memory from a music tourism tip, The Social in Fitzrovia.

TheZineUK arrived, founded in Uniqulture, March 2014 with punk and poetry.

Documenting seeds of stardust fuel a fertile environment. A decayed of punky situationist whimsy alongside other interdependent allies.

Totally Unofficial Free Festival Fun (TUFFF - gong!) sponsored by love, appreciation, friends, fans (LAFF)

Magick plays a huge part…

We’ve the Genie and a (Dizzy) Spell alongside every woodland folk of yore in this golden DIY Bayeaux tapestry of top history.

Music Women: Yes. Of course there’s our tech savvy musician as Space Vixen, Kat Five (interview - 2024 essential) - and our green friend, Moonpuss of Music Tourist Board.

2024 proceeds at the rate of a week every day?

Parallel dimensions of psycho-trolls -v- poetic souls is measured (by TheZineUK anyway) in gigs, events and festival dates. These need finance to happen. Some sponsors are problematic for the moral conscience.

Nobody is perfect but it’s a Braver New World and the Resistance ®Evolution is developing. Children of all ages are an educated and empathetic new unity in a genocidal, eco criminal eruption of corruption.

United, We’ll Keep Improving.

Meet Generation A

One flag on the world stage is the most flown and displayed. Every chapter TheZineUK’s reported (perfectly imperfectly), feels like the deliciously diverse newer wave of under the radar rock n roll music industrious are SuperNature’s intent.

Hence the Fertile Environment HAPPENING despite the hisstablishment’s hostile one.

Not The Great Escape, Not The Alt Escape but an alt-alt-escapism of Total Interdependence Festivity - getting by with a little help from our friends.

Expo/Music Tourism

March is annually SXSW, Austin, Texas

2023 TheZineUK repping (down the front for Brooke Combe) at the British Music Embassy to begin the People’s Music Tourist Board then, at Vancerts, where the first word spotted is “Magic

2024. Supersponsors? RIP SXSW especially the tone deaf response from local government to the music world. “Es Ex Es Double U” (as a recent profiled music industry event called it) is planning to plonk SXSWLondon into the June 2025 ecosystem of the UK festival calender and grassroots music venue circuit. Sigh…

It feels like that was the last real SouthBySouthWest. Because…

2024’s main talking point was artist boycotts where, ironically, they probably got their names mentioned more than usual in UK/Ireland press. We’re proud to have been a media partner of Vancerts. Teenage Sequence thanked them.

Totally unofficial independent stages for the WIN. This was Vancerts ATX 2024 being loved during the SXSW boycotts…

March was also Expo 01 though.

LOVE power.

Not a bad representation of how the evening of live rock n roll music, poetry, audiovisuals and socialising went, in the end!

April 2024

CroCroLand (our doc blog) was the sold out weekend of uniqulture, artists/allies everywhere. Friends hugging under the moon. Such escapism, that leaving to discover WW3 was being attempted was surreal. Oi, war wankers, when Ms Mohammed sings ‘Never Again’, we’re with her!

Believe it - CroCroLand "An uprising of (40!) bands and music fans" - Expo 02 was, indeed, pretty much like this!

May 2024

The Great Escape is over shadowed by peaceful protest. Events take a couple of years advance programming so festivals and sponsors have time to consider/fix 2025 onwards.

Eurovision/Euronazivision, whatever, it’s an absolute catastrophuck in a week of BOOs (and bees!). (Mass Murder: still bad)

Ironically for this “once a song contest” bollox, It’s the week of Hind’s Hall by Macklemore (click link for the video - all proceeds to https://www.unrwa.org/ - the majority of us actually ARE united by music. Just not this genocidal apologist art-washing. 10% of the Malmo population protested this event. Generation A baby.

Mindless thugs beat students for being educated/moral.

We’re in some Dr Who reality warpfusion of 42 dystopian movies.

Simultaneously.

With a Shitting Image remix by The Muppets retold as a fairy tale. Wicked greedy “royals” included.

Retarted (as in having an extra jam tart) eh? Ha ha… BLOCKED!

Example - UK (Unprincipled Kleptocracy)

In Westminster/Pestmonster, a tory prime sinister was beaten by a lettuce, but they themselves beat the current (unelected) “leader” whose candidate for London Mayor was some mad bigot. The local fascists, Britain First, wereas beaten by Count Binface . BritainLast, then. Sadiq Khan, Mayor Of London acknowledged Count Binface who did the journalists job for them and asked zionaziradioLBC where their disappeared journalist, Sangita Myska, was. Dafuq?

This is what happens when the oh-so-superior-to-us-daft “wokeratti” adults are in charge. The professionals, experts, institutionalised, establishment are in charge…They and their toadies are so IN “the box”.

Leading the charge (of change)

The DIY Sector are some of the most professional in the rising global Arts and Entertainment movements.

Once Upon Another Time

#ZeenagersExpo 01 Spring 2024

“Well done for keeping the spirit of rebellion alive” (Patrick Jones)

Swear to Mushrooms that this really happened. Follow the green cat.

7th March, Amersham Arms, New Cross (i.e. London’s Sarf x Sarf East!) rock n roll music, poetry, visuals, photography, technology (including audio recordings), Stage Style, creativity and DIY skillz all rolled into a live music social. We are blown away by the all-positive feedback for the evening!

Thank you to everyone who performed, bought a ticket and came out to play in person or spirit. We’re all ingredients of an exposition of the interdependent music sector - and whatever happens next.

#24ourPartyPeople

Whoever is WITH/for TheZineUK - YOU are all what the #ZeenagersExpo is about!

Further reading - origins

One of our Wizards knows. Yes, we have more than one in this tale…

14th March 2014 - Upload Chapter 1 of TheZineUK multi media tapestry. Situationist whimsy weaves waves that we could not make up.

14th March 2023 - Begin a year’s research into Music Tourism For The People at the British Music Embassy in Austin, Texas (the final real SXSW). End of year, TheZineUK returned to USA, this time L.A. Stage Style stories off the hook.

14th March 2024 - Despite the hostile environment dystopian decayed decade TheZineUK can prove that the alternative arts have created a newer wave of music industrious through uniqulture. Their actions and good souls have resulted in a Fertile Environment worthy of an exposition.

Click OUR STORY page for more but, basically, an Alternative Arts documentary living the skint life of the grassroots venue circuit community. It’s not been dull.

2014 to 2015:

An ideas factory-cum-DIY studio/rave warehouse etc., pop-up HQ ("The Ministry of Fluff and Dreams" run by Menace & McNaughty) rounded off with #No3Expo (42 stalls including a live music stage - The Homosexuals, Nova Twins, seeds of Birthmarks, Cat Bear, Lufe Tempo - and a bar!). It set the tone. #Zeenagers prologue 'Expo Beats' 2014/2015 (YouTube)

Punk scared Darwin! Photographer, Rupert Hitchcox, (now with our allies, Joyzine) had fiften minutes in dodgy light to capture early RTN Makes Music magnificence at the Natural History Museum. Impromptu ad libbing has continued ever since and this show became the front page of Picture Book chapter 001. In capitalist style, Issuu changed the visibility of our documents, as we’re skint, but we’ve managed to salvage much of the reporting. Enough for Expo slideshows!

Alongside the magick powered situationism and woodland folk heroes in this emerging tapestry, the likes of Cro Cro Land, CUP Soccer Six, Decolonise Fest, This Feeling, Music Venue Trust and LOUD WOMEN are only half a dozen of many prevailing threads.

We ARE doing something new, Bruno Wizard! Amidst the old boys networks, the privileges, the nepotism and cliques we are an open armed collective for all backgrounds to unite as Playing Class Friends. On this evening (12th February 2016, David Bowie homage charity show by Dizzy Spell at Amersham Arms HQ) The Homosexuals were supported by Little Death Machine (seeds of the incredible Birthmarks) and Featherz while upstairs, photographer Duncan Stafford held his first photography exhibition (Fat White Family, Sleaford Mods etc) in the Take Courage Gallery. When it came downstairs to the venue, Don Letts, Tim Burgess and various members of The Libertines would have the images as a back drop while upstairs became a Laurie Vincent (Soft Play) art exhibition - all this fun before fckn Brexit was illegally “won”.

TheZineUK. Officially repping (and therefore reporting) at festivals with either a stage, a logo or a co-promotion every single year from 2014 onwards (lockdown was Balcony On Line Festival) and promoting live music socials fuels the story, courtesy of kind artists/promoters access. In 2024 we are chuffed to be a media partner with #ItsAVanFest - the Austin Texas music festival (Teenage Sequence, The Hollows, more) where the super-sponser is Rock n Roll (We met behind the painted word, “magic”, in 2023)

Birthmarks band powered evening ‘Pulse 1’ - art gallery with live music (including Deux Furieuses). Like Birthmarks, artist, Eugene Ankomah, is a golden tapestry thread of big heart, pure talent and inspiring soul. Photographer, Stefon Grant has been exhibited, publicly… It’s ALL happening. Circles of (key scouting) life; ‘One Pulse’ video by Birthmarks. A cinematic happening of a band.

By 2017

there was a visible and voluble newer wave of music industrious. Audience powered arts, industry and media learning/exchanging biz, tech, journalism whatever skills as their interdependent collective rise in staggered unison, rather than all “pulling up the ladder" behind them. This is how we do it. YouTube Slideshow of our 2021 cast and crew - 2014 to 2017 snapshots: The #MusicPeopleParty begins

2018 - "where do you see yourself in five years?"

The question that no human could have answered. Then between the cast, cats and crew of TheZineUK and an unbelieving world if we are here today then we are all changed. WHAT a soundtrack we got in the Music People Party years.

That time (September 2018) when interdependent altrock promoter, Kick Out The Jams launched monthly events co promoted with TheZineUK, at The Good Mixer in Camden with The Velvet Hands, Bugeye and Smiley & The Underclass. Reportage: This image was before the first band’s set!

2019

The #MusicPeopleParty had, by now, become the welcomig end of year not-got-an-office party for artists, DJs, bloggers, creators and all the rock n rollers. This was December 2019, with This Feeling star, Nineties Mike on the decks and Louise Schofield as host. Feels innocent - we had no idea of six months time… (Camden Monarch, another live music venue lost…)

2020

Mirrored… RTN Makes Music x rock music movie, Velvet Goldmine x Genesis Cinema - our story suits cinemas! Weeks later, we were in lockdown, but boy did we dress up first!

2021

Breaking outta lockdown and back into gigs - the newer wave of music industrious are shaping new futures! Anaiah M. Davis, Robyn Skinner, Jean Genie, Kat Five, Caffy St Luce and Sonja Amoretti at Kick Out The Jams, Amersham Arms.

2022

This blur (I’m gonna call it “art”) is Benji from Lock-In at The Social in Fitzrovia for This Feeling’s Test Transmission 01. We all walked miles due to the rail strikes, war had just broken in Ukraine and there was impending doom in the nationwide air. For balance, we kept our doses of escapism coming. Lock-In would headline a sold out show at The Garage with This Feeling’s “Zone Airport” artist development runway campaigns in Spring 2023. This year, they step up to their biggest headline so far: Lafayette in Kings Cross.

2023

Key blogged conversations and events on PoC in guitar music and AI, rounded off with an Artful Party that included star turn multi-media artivist mavericks Bugeye (who were on tour as special guest of The Bluetones, and will play their biggest show to date, headlining Oslo Hackney on 4th May (tickets) after presenting 2024 with the incredible Cro Cro Land Festival mid April), Colossus (Fckn suPERB debut EP and get a load of the live presence in this #ArtfulFest video blip!), Joyzine, God Is In The TV and and and… these artivists are ALL connected and those conversations are ongoing.

21st Century music world stories would be so much less without the (genuine) legend, John Kennedy. Papped at Truck Festival 2023 before The Velvet Hands headline This Feeling Stage. We may not be a mainstream music media but there are a hella lotta positive tales in this #FuturePicks documentary. As an interdependent promoter in his own right (The Remedy happens monthly at Signature Brew in Haggerston), what can we say but “thank you” John, and respect”.

2024

We’ve created. During the most historic era in human history (i..e. largely a binfire of bigoted bollocks)! We promote a punky rock n roll music world angle with diy glam chic, recorded from the reality of post brexit Britain Ireland. 

Escapism not extremism. Love is NOT hate! We wanna have a good time, all the time!

Creator and Stage Style icon, Adora, at the sold out ASBO Magazine x Bilk EVENT, Rough Trade East

Today, Friday 15th March - the music festival conversations are TV’s Glastonbury and Austin’s SXSW. With the latter, ironically, the mainstream media have covered the bands that have dropped out more than the usual attention they give to the line up.

Just BELIEVE and they WILL come!

2024, a few days after International Women’s Day shows how the establishment treat Britain’s first Black Woman Politician. Imagine how far down the “food chain” we, The Outsiders Family, are. We’ll keep fighting the nutsies by sharing audiovisual hope. It’s the least we can do.

Sixth sense supernature powers the chapters of TheZineUK. The feedback is always appreciated.

Are you with us, Zeenagers?

Mango In Euphoria

“It is time to do what you want while the ones who look down on you keep on doing what they can.” (Mango In Euphoria).
Photography for the single, ‘Hollywood’ by Neil Anderson.

Since catching her last-minute addition to a Kick Out The Jams on the famed Amersham Arms stage (Autumn 2021, TikTok clip) been following the UK’s glam-star, Mango In Euphoria.

Fast forward to Spring 2023 where the “Dark Disco Queen” isa released (and highly praised) recorded, reviewed and radio played artist/One To Watch. (Gonna let you into a not-secret: Every name on this event’s line up is acclaimed and tipped. If may be an affordable night but you’ll more than get your money’s worth to support new music and our beloved grassroots venue circuit).

Electro-pop on the Amazing Radio playlist. Here’s the brand new video for the recent single, ‘Hollywood’ (So Far So Good Records)

Friends! Coming? Do the Mango tango and bring your own #StageStyle to Pop Of The Tops - we love to see it!

The Outers

TheZineUK being a situationist music movement documentary, it felt like serendipity when checking out and falling for the soaring tune ‘Danger Signs’ by up comers, The Outers, late last year, courtesy of the Bad Apple Club launch at The Old Blue Last.

Uptempo engagement of the alt-pop tuned, rocked out kind. Their live show is infectious and performed with a stylish edge that mixed Blur, Jefferson Airplane and Blondie, maybe, but is all their own sound. We were introduced by gig photographer, Mark S., (who we met at our Amersham Arms show last summer). It was meant to be, then.

The Outers ended 2022 with an interview on established music site Joyzine. 2023 started with an again well received show supporting Vandal at a packed Belfast Sunflower and new recordings to step up an even busier year. post-punk-pogo-pop having FUN in the video for ‘Nobody’s Fool’

Woohoo, we’ve also nabbed one of the ultra-groovy Big Richard Records rosta. The pulsing young-n-happening label/promoter and band, Brie, introduced into this tale by Andy at Amersham Arms.

Describing themselves as “Post-Punk cheese music” the lively gigging gang are in the process of finishing off their next project, a 5-track studio EP recorded last year. Their musical output so far vacuums you into their dairytale of beats, bops and dynamics.

Over the last year, Brie have concentrated on making friends, playing shows around London and the UK (some sold-out) and are now it’s the build up to releasing their record. Catch them live and make fondue memories of the “I Was There” type! Descend into happy madness.

“Brie are bringing the rocking party” says Gouda Than War. You bring the cheese puns, then. See You, Mate! Video for ‘CuM8’ by Brie

Jean Genie’s Massive Hugs

Massive Hugs = Magick hugs!

Creator, Jean Genie, is The Bringer Of Sunshine and a great supporter of musical peers, the grassroots scene and a key mover shaker musician, member of the band Alex & The Wonderland, presenter, producer, promoter, booker, music world community leader and connector while the short film she co-wrote with Jonny Hayes ‘Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, Search For The Blue Note' was screened in January to amazing response.

In February 2023 on the Bandcamp Friday of Independent Venue Week, Jean Genie’s Massive Hugs offered Preston’s top independent venue, The Ferret a Ray Of Hope with a brilliant pop single rof the year, ‘Ray Of Hope (Ferret Forever)’.

The release is in support of Music Venue Trust’s first nine lives (grassroots gig spaces) of the brilliant #OwnOurVenues investments/donations campaign. A sparkling tune, it’s picking up widespread support (Independent media, + Radio X, Loud Women on Louder Than War, Get In Her Ears and BBC Introducing plays and interviews).

March 2023 ended with #SaveTheFerret a triumph (yay!) and Music Venue Trust going to the line. Will they? Won’t they? By midnight deadline they HAD made the £2.3 million required to start buying venues for the music world to own. (yay!) Get involved, this is just the start!

April 2023, Jean Genie is live on stage at another of her regular independent venues and has a poptastic way with a story and melody. “What a song!” (John Kennedy, Radio X). A sparkling video by Robin Hill:

OMG, so excited that this entire line up can come and play!

TheZineUK

Documenting DIY music movement serendipity. A “story being lived through the arts and poetic actions at the austerity inflicted end of broken brexit britain. The one with the best rock n roll”.

The multi-media Expo, Zeenagers, is being made in twelve parts. The first was March 2023. Pop Of The Tops 2023 is Chapter 2. Be here in person or virtual media spirit? Draw/Take a pic? Wear a chic? Applaud loudly? Dance? Make a video? …or not. We’re doing love, anyway.

Zeenagers - the early seeds (clips), then, this pic: CroCroLand Spring 2019 supergroup: Weekend Recovery, Nova Twins, Tiger Mimic
Spring 2023 links to feedback. The Fertile Environment returns to Sarf London on 20th April

This is a slideshow of the doc’s 2021 cast and crew between 2014-2017. With more people in the story by 2023, let’s make newer-news together! Yes?

Pop Of The Tops?

Yeah, like Top Of The Pops; diverse popular music variety show of 20th century prime time BBC1 TV viewing fame. But 21st Century DIY punked! Independent artists / venue / promoter and creativity welding alternative rock, electro punk and disco pop tuned performances with a creative crowd.

Let’s make a Hallo Gallery on the second stage in the TARDIS of New Cross backstage bar where years of gigs, parties, clubs, theatre and shenanigans (like TheZineUK being born) have taken place – especially over the last decade while musician, Andy Palmer has been making heritage with a staff of mostly musicians as staff. Come, have a laff.

2003, Sarf East London - a community of artists, locals, students, fairys etc. at a weekly live music social.

By the time it was killed off in 2004 Pop Of The Tops (“The CBGBs of SE14”) had spawned acclaimed/widely screened films, an NME compilation of the year, ‘The New Cross’, an Oxford Street riot, a John Kennedy radio special and the Rocklands Party of creativity.

Over the years of shows, festival stages, sessions, collabs and expos, invited music lovers to witness, early or intimate shows by Kae Tempest, Howard Marks, Nova Twins, Anna Wolf, Art Brut, Bloc Party, gglum, Deux Furieuses, MOSES, Feral Five, Ebony Bones, Something In The Lake, Tinie Tempah, Glen Tillbrook, The Heavy, Beans On Toast, Too Many Ts … ah, so many more.

TheZineUK has officially staged and co-promoted at many events/festivals since 2014 and is always looking at the NOW and the NEXT. So come tonight!

An art rock opera in real time. Kicking against the hostile environment pricks – and despite everything – the uniqulture of the Fertile Environment is seeing talent seed and bloom. A pipeline of potential, which the interdependent music world feeds into wider attention. Often works.
