    A 216 page paperback book documenting the history of the fanzine Rhubarb Bomb and its place within a wider DIY / zine landscape - including it's creation of Long Division Festival. Contains original articles and newly created material showing the progression of the bands in the city from 2007 - 2012 plus major events and live events. Includes interviews with Mark E Smith, David Gedge, Emma Pollock (The Delgados). Luke Haines, Malcolm Middleton and Russell Senior (Pulp)

    "I can see this book providing inspiration and even guidance not just for fanzine editors and writers working (for free!) in the cultural margins, but also musicians and other artists who have a song to sing or a tale to tell that doesn't chime with the commercial mainstream for years to come" - Vibrations Magazine.

    *Original copies of the book came with a CD compilation album. We no longer have the means to burn CDs, but purchase includes immediate download of the album.     ... more

about

The Passing Fancy has been playing gigs in Wakefield for five years now, yet, by some massive oversight, had not featured in Rhubarb Bomb until April 2012. This is perhaps because his brand of folk pop whimsy (now fashionable, of course) never quite fit in with the Pavement indebted pop produced elsewhere in the city. But his inclusion here is at the request of current editor Dean Freeman. The Passing Fancy has always been around, supporting the DIY ethic, whether it be compering at gigs, running doors, promoting, getting people excited, or simply just playing. Also, this song, originally released in 2008 but re-recorded afresh for this compilation, is a little nod to the former Wakefield venue Escobar which was central to the creation of Rhubarb Bomb. Anyone who ever visited will appreciate this tale of a totalitarian barman overseeing a drunken crowd of revellers.
