This is one big story, a part of the author’s life, separated in chapters. It’s about him moving from one place to the other, places he stayed, people he met, bands he started, efforts to tour, hitchhiking, getting drunk and other punk stuff. This is a very bizarre way of writing, reflecting his life. Try to reach at: B. Menac / 37 Mulberry st / Ashevilee NC 29104 / USA

Exotica Subterranea (Exotic Underground)
This is an issue of Exotic Underground but since it is about South America it is called Exotica Subterranea. This is a very good introduction to the Latin America punk scene. It has an interview with Octavio and Jose, two random guys, one from Mexico and the other from Colombia, who both lived in the United States. They talk about their countries, why and how they went to the states, why people from latin america migrate to there, the problems they have etc. It’s a very interesting interview on a subject that most of us europeans and i’m sure most americans do not really know much about. Apart from that there is a travel diary from the author’s trip to Colombia. People he met, places he have seen, gigs he went to etc. An interview giving some light on the oi scene in Colombia and finally a number of record and zine reviews from latin america. As I said this this is a great intro to latin american punk. Besides the zine, Fred with his label and distro is releasing and distributing records by bands from all over the world. You should also check his book Discography of Eastern European punk music 1977-1999 and the online Discography of Asian punk music.
