New Wave Chicken Issue 9 by Steve Hart and Matthew Thompson
This issue of New Wave Chicken is very special to me. I’ve described this issue as a “love letter” to my friends. Issue 9 is a celebration of my incredible fortune of being surrounded by artist friends throughout my life. In this issue, I interview the people who left an indelible mark on my soul.
Many of my friends in this issue are not household names. Maybe they should be, but that’s not up to me. However, there hasn’t gone a day where I haven’t thought or spoken about them. In some ways, these friends created me.
This issue features Hudley Flipside whose scribbles in Flipside were always a highlight. Michael Banks is an artist and musician, currently living in Michigan and creating new installments with his wife. Michael Peoples is a fascinating artist, creating wax figures from discarded crayons. I interviewed Eris Noren, who helped me with Licentia et Pax, my previous fanzine in the '80s.
This issue also features interviews with Ross Sewage (Impaled, Exhumed)—printer extraordinaire—about his artistic process. Also inside are interviews with Travis D. Simmons, a unique fine-art painter from Georgia, and Al Garr, a digital artist and sticker maker out here in Maui.
Lastly, this issue includes an in-depth interview with Mark Ottens, one of my favorite artists in the world. This interview wanders all over the world, from India to Wisconsin.

New Wave Chicken Issue 8 by Steve Hart and Matthew Thompson
New Wave Chicken fanzine was created in an attempt to bring friends together and tell our stories of growing up in the early '80s, discovering punk rock and new wave, creating bands, seeing shows and surviving. For many of us, these formative years have galvanized us to the people we are today—creative and obsessive music fans. I remember sitting in my backyard in Maui, surrounded by chickens, thinking I should start writing stories down before I get too old, thus New Wave Chicken was born.
I’ve spent over thirty years creating issue number eight. It has been that long that I’ve wanted to interview Paul from Jim Jones and the Kool-Ade Kids and we spent days talking about how punk rock in West Michigan started, blossomed and exists to this day.
Another interview features Tim from the Cannibinoids, a popular West Michigan band that didn’t leave a record for us to remember, just a few pictures on the internet and a YouTube video.
Danbert Nobacon from the band Chumbawamba is also interviewed and we talk about his new musical project, Axis of Dissent.
The artist Mike Banks contributed a story about Grand Rapids, and another artist, Mike Fisher, who grew up in a small town in Northern California writes about discovering punk rock.
Lastly, I write about one of the most defining moments of my life, the days leading up to Mr. Bungle’s second North American tour.
I hope that you will be willing to join us in the celebration of punk rock, new wave and chickens.
Aloha!

Spooky Stories About Insane Asylums by Reflective Zines
Many spooky Halloween stories include tales of old insane asylums; the stereotypical story usually follows a particularly disturbed patient that becomes violent or possessed, wreaking chaos on the doctors and the public. However, in reality, patients were almost always the victims of the cruel things that occurred in old psychiatric hospitals. The purpose of this zine is to share spooky stories about old mental institutions in the spirit of Halloween, but also to bring light to the wrongdoings of past psychiatric doctors, and educate people on how mental healthcare has improved in the last century!
Bad Apples by Kara Khan & Matt Williams
In 2021, we hosted digital zine residents, helping them organize and create a zine picked from a stack of proposed zine projects. We’re very happy to present the finished product of that work.
Bad Apples is an audiovisual zine documenting the police brutality during the June 2020 Black Lives Matter protests in Philadelphia, and is the result of months of sorting through photographs, parsing audio recordings and the audio taken from video recordings, and creating a narrative that speaks to the brute force and cold reasoning behind the cops’ tactics during the protests. Here’s more from the artists:
"On June 1, 2020 Philadelphia police made international headlines. First, for excessively tear gassing a group of protesters on the highway, and then allowing a mob of armed men to attack, threaten, and intimidate a group of protesters outside of the Fishtown police station. As witnesses and victims to both of these historic moments in Philadelphia, we intend to transform the horrific actions of that day into a piece of art through photographs, text, audio clips, and music."
Half-size, 20 pages, flip zine, edition of 250, comes with audio to listen to while reading the zine and an addressed postcard you can use to tell the Fishtown police how well they did during the protests.
