Don't send stamps, checks, money orders, or coins, please! The list is published and updated quarterly. The list is copyrighted but you may feel free to make as many copies as you need to share with friends etc. as long as you leave the list intact and complete, and leave my name and address on it so I can continue to receive updates. Please do NOT post this guide to Internet newsgroups without checking with me first, as it generally makes my mailbox overflow when I am unprepared for it. Please only send info on bands with FEMALE VOCALISTS, who sing LEAD vocals, or sing dual vocals with a male, as long as the female sings on 30% on the songs (backup vocals do NOT count). When you send me info about your band please include members' names, a booking phone number, and a fan mail address - a lot of letters to bands are getting lost at the band's record label. Photos look shitty because of the xeroxed format of this zine, but if you still want to send them, I'll put them in. Listing format is: Band name; home town/band fan mail address, phone; members' names; type of music; discography; record label/address; booking phone number. 360's Salem, Massachusetts. Audrey Clark.

I need help!!!! Please send photos and updates on your favorite bands, with credit information as to who took the photo and when. I can NOT pay for photos so don't ask, just send it in as a labor of love. If you're sending me a photo of YOUR band, please keep in mind that the big huge ones really won't have a good shot of making it into the zine; unless they are used on the cover, they are pretty much worthless because of their huge size. I need teeny tiny ones that I can incorporate around the text. Please send me any corrections you might find that need to be made to the list. I make lots of goofs so don't hesitate to correct me, please! If you're in a band and I've misspelled your name, write and cuss me out and correct it; and if I've listed your home phone number and address and it's causing you a problem (I generally try to check first but who knows) let me know IMMEDIATELY so I can strip it out of any further printings. Thanks to all the many people who sent in corrections and updates since the last issue! I'm considering including a short interview with a girl band in every issue, to make this more zineish and less Listish. But I'm a HORRID interviewer! So check with me if you want to interview somebody when they come into your area, I'd love to start including stuff like that. Anybody know anything about the following bands? Chickpea (San Francisco), The Clams (Berkeley), The Brentwoods (?), Raggedy Anne, Rag (Seattle), High Risk Group (Debbie?), Maul Girls (New Jersey), Damn Near Red (Richmond, VA). Lulabox/Mary Cassidy. Looking for a girl to be in your band? Starting next issue I'll offer an experimental FREE classified section for girls and/or bands seeking other girl members. Your ad can be up to 50 words. Please include your phone number and address (PO Box is preferable, and you should probably have an answering machine!!) and make sure to CLEARLY state what position you are seeking in a potential candidate (i.e. bassist, vocalist, vocalist/drummer, etc.) Don't forget to list your musical influences, including boy and girl bands! Check out Rock For Choice's Cause CD (32 songs/pieces) which features Ann Magnuson, Jula Bell, Exene Cervenka, Suzi Gardner, and more, speaking on the issue of choice. ------------------------------------------------------------------- -COPYRIGHT 1994 CARRIE CAROLIN ------------------------------------
