HFoS launch party photos

 

Like I said, there's a bunch more photos that I don't have... esp the ones of Planet of The Tapes playing. Really wanna get hold of them. Also there's a bunch from later in the evening, some burnout ones on Tim Brott's camer I think? Plus some video footage we're gonna edit together as soon as we get a chance. Thanks again to everyone for coming to the launch, it was a hell of a night.

Oh and this guy here has a bunch more photos on his blog, check it out he's got good photos of some of the bikes that I didn't get...

HFoS launch party photos: setting up

This is a bit late. I meant to get these up straight after the launch, but I had to clean up and deliver bikes back to people on the Saturday, and then I had to leave town real early Sunday morning to get to the ferry in time for my ride around the North Island with Malcolm. It was all a bit of a bloody whirlwind! But thanks to everyone who showed up, it was a great night and I think everyone pretty much agreed on that. Thanks to those of you who showed up for the ride too! I was expecting it'd just be me and some friends and it was so great to roll up and see a whole bunch of unfamiliar bikes and faces. I really want to organise more rides now. But yeah anyway here's some of the photos I have. PZ has a bunch more. I don't have any of Planet of The Tapes and the ones here of The Grand Saloon playing are just stills from Stuart's video... will edit some video together at some point too – there's some of us riding there, and then some good stuff of the bands.To start with here's some of us getting the bikes there etc...

NZ Launch Party!

The long-awaited NZ launch for 'Head Full of Snakes' issue #1 will be held in Lyttelton on Friday the 13th of January. My advice would be to do your best to be there.  These zines have been selling like hot-cakes following our launch in Melbourne, and this may be your best chance of actually getting your hands on a copy! (We have kept a bunch aside especially for this launch party and for NZ customers).

It'll be part bike show, part BBQ, part beer drinkin, part gig, and ALL mongrel-motorcycle-magazine action. A bunch of us will be riding over together from Christchurch, if you wanna join us meet up at Johnny Moore's new joint, Smash Palace, on the corner of Victoria St. and Bealey Ave. at 5.30pm. All welcome, you don't need any fancy kinda bike to join in.

The actual launch will be at 6.30pm at 'The Roastery' (the garage where Oscar Guerrero cooks up the coffee beans for the Lyttelton Coffee Company... there's a big carpark all around it that we can fill up with bikes) at approximately No.10 Canterbury St., Lyttelton. (In case of bad weather we will move into the rebuilt Lyttelton Coffee Company cafe building.)

Bands will start about 8pm and run til late... bring your dancing shoes, and if you get too drunk we can lock up your bike in the Roastery over night so you can pick it up the next day. So no excuse not to party!

Kick starting the new year...

This is great! From the dudes at Dice. My Norton has just about broken my leg/foot/ankle a few times this year. I'm hoping it's sorted now that I've got the battery and ignition a bit more sussed, but won't know shit til I get my carb rebuilt. The post here has been fucked since the last big quake just before xmas, but hopefully that stuff'll arrive soon...

Been working on organising the New Zealand launch for the mag and it's shaping up to be a real party! Posters available soon, lemme know if you want one... printing them in 2 colours on the riso, A3 size. Will have the design and info up on here soon.

On Holiday. NZ launch Fri 13 Jan!

Merry Xmas jerks. I'm on holiday, but am working on organising a New Zealand launch for Head Full of Snakes issue #1 in Christchurch (the most rockin' place in all of NZ!) on FRIDAY THE 13TH of January. Sorry about the wait, I didn't quite imagine the mag taking off in the way it has, and had thought a bit of a gap between the Aussie launch and the NZ launch wouldn't be a big deal? But yeah, I know a bunch of you NZ-based losers really wanna get yer mits on a copy and some of you have been buying them from the site at the Aussie-based 'international' price... Thanks for buying it if you have already, but hold on if you haven't. It'll be a bit cheaper to buy it from NZ after the launch in Jan.

Hey we're a bunch of fucking amatuers!
