New Stuff: Rave Flier Zines at Rare Mags
Stockport’s Rare Mags have got their hands on these unreal fluro-covered collections of archive rave fliers from San Francisco’s Colpa Press. There’s a few different titles to be snaffled, from Los Angeles to the UK, but they all focus on the early 90s, and are all crammed with wild early desktop computer art.
With the internet still a distant sci-fi dream for most at this time, the humble flier was the only way to get the message out about events like these, meaning each one needed to be full of info, and any attempt at minimalism was thrown right out the window.
In short, this means these old rave fliers are a pure treat to look at, and even a quick glance fills you with a good indication about what was going down at these things. Horseback rides during a three day bender at the ‘Ancient Temple of Imagination’? Apparently so.
