THE UNKNOWN QUARTER Artist Interview

Page last updated: Sunday, March 14, 2010 10:34:02 -0400

Next issue will be #7, January 2010.

 

The Unknown Quarter is a FREE, semi-periodical multi-paged flyer-fanzine-thing serving both as a quasi-newsletter to the NJ band "VTT", and as a music/art/random-rant-rag. Other than centering on the NJ/NYC geographic area's unsigned bands and artists, there is no formal format, and essentially, anything cool goes!

 

Disclaimer!: The Unknown Quarter Fanzine makes no claims or guarantees on the content you provide for inclusion. Text will be published verbatim, and audio (if you provide it) will be UNEDITED (except volume leveling) and distributed in CDR format only. The Unknown Quarter is distributed FOR FREE and NOT FOR PROFIT. That's as formal as it gets, beyond this, THE UNKNOWN QUARTER IS "FOR FUN!", take it or leave it!!

No, I am stingy with my art and hung up on 19th-century notions regarding intellectual property.

No, because I don't have recordings yet...

Yes, I will email a file!

Yes, I have uploaded the file to this site! (You can upload your media here!)

Yes, but I will provide the song through other means.

NO, and my reasoning is far more interesting than stinginess or any capitalist hang-ups. I will happily explain WHY I can't provide free music:

18. Are there images on your website or that you can email us to use for print with your article?

OR can upload your photos here!
