Night of the Locust #4 /1 euro/$1 //5.5 X 8.5 - copied - 36 pgs
Night of the Locust is an interesting little zine out of Ireland that is sort of half music fanzine and half fiction, which is kind of a cool mix if you ask me. Two decent interviews with Galway area bands Class Destruction and the Frigits, as well as a few show and record reviews, reveal a more local focus for the music that's covered. But that's only the half of it. There is also a good piece of fiction included - a sort of creepy story about a girl who accompanies a Norman Bates-like character to meet his parents. I usually don't even bother with most fiction stuff I come across, but this one kept me going 'til the end. I also like the short articles on how to beat the car boot, the enviormental "Battle of the Yellow Bulldozer of Tara", and the brief rant about why the medical industry would rather not cure diseases (because then who will pay millions of dollars for research and development?). The variety of content makes Night of the Locust an enjoyable read the whole way through, and broadens the appeal to those living outside the west coast of Ireland. And it's only a buck so why not give it a shot? (Bob Goldie) // Kollin Finnerty, 184 Glen Dara, Bishop O' Donnell Road, Galway, Ireland. [email protected]
Of course Frigits are from Dublin but you get the idea....
