AZKaos Zine #3 Preview

A quick peek at the latest issue

AZKaos • Friday, July 3, 2009 • 3:35 PM

AZKaos Zine Issue #3

Taking our cue and a page from the original SLASH magazine at the birth of the L.A. punk scene, AZ KAOS focuses on but not limited to Arizona bands, shows, films, photos, cd releases and music related concerns or topics. Our goal is to publish one issue a month. We are not attempting to "cover" the scene. Instead, AZ KAOS will give focus to bands and artists that we feel need attention, criticism or debate. This will not be a kiss ass "I like your band, you like mine" fanzine. Instead, like SLASH years ago, AZ KAOS will inject attitude, philosophy, criticism and belief in what we feel passionate about.

AZ KAOS can and will benefit all of those actively involved. We are not out to make friends or enemies, as you can never please everyone. So we will not try to. In an attempt to give balance and have unbiased views, AZ KAOS will ask for support and input from what we cannot review ourselves, as we can’t be in several places at one time. If you are asked to contribute please consider the big picture and help us out by giving it your all. The more that contribute to AZ KAOS, the more it will be a reflection of you and all of us, LET’S MAKE IT THE BEST!

In this Issue! (Now! with more hate!)
