Published today! My 6-page spread on Faust is now out in the new issue of Shindig!

[French 70s Underground @biffbang]

@PerWadd Per, just spoke to the editors. They're on to it - getting the publisher to reupload the files. So hopefully we'll have a usable version later today!

[French 70s Underground @biffbang]

On the newstands in the UK today - the latest Shindig! including my feature on French Revolutionary Rock!

[French 70s Underground @biffbang]

@PerWadd Yes - I've just noticed the same problem I'll check in with the editors to see if there is a fix coming!

[French 70s Underground @biffbang]

@Frenchrocksmplr @sendvictorious @RingoEsch Thanks Warren!

[French 70s Underground @biffbang]

@Frenchrocksmplr It’s was the Geiger/Alien association that was swaying me - but definitely no science to it! (only fiction?)

[French 70s Underground @biffbang]

@Frenchrocksmplr Warren I'm assuming you have Magma - Attahk in there already? And Verto - Krig/Volubilis?

@Frenchrocksmplr I’m interested to hear what you think Warren. I just picked up the Kindle version - so didn’t have to pay the crazy postage costs to Aust.

[French 70s Underground @biffbang]

This is a very rare piece of French music history!

Ame Son were one of the first underground bands (members had played in Bananamoon with daevid Allen before he formed Gong).

Bananamoon Band - The story of the first(?) group of the French underground https://t.co/6eMbYq3U6o

[French 70s Underground @biffbang]

On a quick flick through it looks a bit light-on, but it does cover a lot of territory over a long timeframe 1969-2019.

[French 70s Underground @biffbang]

A new book about French Progressive Rock just published!

[French 70s Underground @biffbang]

And for those of us outside France there is even a Kindle version available (I just bought my copy from the Australian Kindle shop - so I'm sure it's available worldwide).

[French 70s Underground @biffbang]

As usual Warren Hatter is right on the money about this one!
