UGLY THINGS #70
Ships late November 2025
POP ART is our cover story as we examine how British Pop Artists ignited the Swinging Sixties in the UK and how the art world and the pop world intersected throughout that decade and into the next. The visionary Pop Artist Derek Boshier was interviewed for the story. We also examine the British Pop Art Sound of the ‘60s and attempt a playlist of some prime specimens. Other interviews this issue include Brian McMahon of feral proto-punk geniuses the Electric Eels, and Dave Clague (Bonzo Dog Band, Kevin Coyne’s Siren). Other must-read stories include Toronto ‘60s garage hooligans the Churls, Vancouver’s Unforscene, enigmatic psychedelic folk-jazz singer-songwriter Kathy Smith, notorious Milwaukee punk rockers the Lubricants, and the tale of two obscure but wonderful, overlapping West Coast-inspired bands from Kansas, In Black & White and the Wizards From Kansas. Not to forget ‘60s Midwest garage band the Why Four, a tribute to Pretty Things drummer Viv Prince, and the final installment of our epic story on Milwaukee psychedelic heroes Plasticland. As always, you can count on acres of reviews covering of all the latest and greatest reissues, and our esteemed book review section. (144 pages)
