The new issue of The All Thrills No Frills Music Bill is a mini issue, made in 24 hours to celebrate International Zine Month, this month.
This issue of The All Thrills No Frills Music Bill is a bit different to usual issues, since it takes the form of a perzine (personal writing zine). It is written from the perspective of a female guitar player, and focuses on: getting back into playing after a break (inspired by reading Good Fuzzy Sounds 'zine, and being hooked on the new Six by Seven album), times of feeling conscious of gender in music playing, also thoughts on the attention/treatment of female musicians, analysis of past personal experiences, heroes and heroines, and asks the question: 'Just, why are women still not fortified with similar respect and credibility about their abilities?
Limited editions of the 'zine come wrapped inside a guitar string envelope, if you buy on Etsy! Dinky little zine, but packed full of writing, images/collage.
And if you are about to tell me that sexism in music doesn't exist, there's this excellent website full of experiences from female musicians:

Music blog to accompany the paper fanzine The All Thrills No Frills Music Bill. Personal thoughts on music, with no particular agenda other than being true to ourselves and being passionate.

Interim issue - August. Now printed
Interim issue for August is out now - a mini 'zine that is free as long as I can make it so. I will make these mini zines in between the bigger, more in depth issues, as and when I fancy until next main issue is ready. I will drop off batches at gig venues and the like. If you'd like to stock issues, please get in touch.
