AGITATE
ISSUE
NINE SPRING 2008
Welcome
to
issue nine of Agitat:e
and
only
six months
u.te
but what
the
fuckl I guess
it
woukłn't
be
Agitate
if
it
\\>asn't
delayed. 1 originally intended
on working
towatds putting
this
out around October /
November
time
last
year
but as always lot's of
unexpccted shit
hap~
which seriously fucked with
my quacti:rly
print
schedule dream that l've talked
about
in pemous
issucs.
I
think the
main
distclction
this
issue
was
moving into a new house
last
summer which
is no real
excusc. The haust: didn't
really
need
all
that
much W01'k
doing
just
generał
cleaning
up
and
painting
but
six
months St.'t:med to
go by
very fucking fast
though l'm
pleased
to
say
things
have settled down
and
the
zine
routine
is
starting to
get
back on track.
rm
al.ready
slowl.y
sw:ting work on issUt: ten which
I
would
like to
put out before
the
end
of summer or
certainly at least
before
Mtans To An End 4 but
f\.-e
said
that
before.
Nothing
really
confumed for
it
at
the moment but
if it
all
goes to
plan
lhere sbould
be
intcrvi.ews
with
my
cum:nt farnurite
Swtdish D-beaters
WARVICTIMS
and distort raw
punks
G1141GAS
A1TACK
plus
a
sceoe report
from
Malaysia
which
I'm pretty excited
about
I
also
usually like
to take
this
opportunity
to
ceflect over the rect:nt DIY punk
happenings
that
havt:
gont:
on since
the
last issue
but
so
much
has
happened
. and
jt
aD
seems
lilre
such
along
time
ago
now to
be
relevant to talk about
it

It
took us two
yt:ars
and
in
November
2006, we
finally
opcned the
Katacombes.
lt's an HH

I start(.-d K.'ltacombes cause
I
can't do

sccnc and
for the punk sccnc..
ahhah!
This
is
my
life!
I couldn't
picturc
myself
working in a
grocery
store or
in
a rest1.urant aftcr dedicating more
than
ten
yca:rs
of
my
life
doing L'X. So I decidcd
that
the
eviccion of L 'X was not going
to
stop
me and I
worked very hard ,vith Claudie to open
the
Katacombes.
lt's doing great.
Bands
