Ong Ong

Posted by on July 21 at 10:24 AM

Seattle fanzine Ong Ong has emerged after a long incubation and its christening occurs 8 pm Thursday at Rendezvous along with a showing of Hisham Mayet’s Niger: Magic and Ecstasy in the Sahel (released via Sublime Frequencies, which Ong Ong features in its inaugural issue). Besides that piece, OO editor Lucy M. and her cohorts charmingly enthuse about the following topics: Italian psych-rockers Jennifer Gentle, Wolf Eyes’ John Olsen, punk documentary Rodrigo D: No Futuro, ’90s Seattle space-rockers Jessamine, Eastern European beers, and more. You get all this plus vegan recipes, original art, 40-minute CD of field recordings by Yann Novak, and a poetic meditation on the secret messages of album covers and the joys of record collecting. Ong Ong is available at Seattle establishments such as Confounded Books (in the same space as Wall of Sound), Electric Heavyland, and all Sonic Boom locations. For more info: lucysolveig@hotmail.com.
