Bizoo_Ka

Name and Role : Dr Jerm. Bizoo Zine creator and trouble maker

Describe your Fringe show. Bizoo-KA! is a night of bands (Frowning Clouds, The Gooch Palms, Dead Shades and Brendan Black from the Stabs), a discussion panel and interactive artwork that celebrates the launch of Bizoo: The Best, The Worst & The Trash That Never Made It.

Can you tell us briefly about yourself/your company? I grew up in Toowoomba and was bored shitless. Bands would occasionally come to town but you had to be 'in the know'. Local media had little to no interest in covering alternative music culture. Not one to sit around and whinge, I started my own media outlet – Bizoo – that would feature a gig guide, review local and touring bands.

What excites you about Melbourne Fringe ? Well it's the start of a two month regional tour though Victoria delivering workshops and launching the best of book. We're aiming to showcase what can be achieved in small regional towns with little or no money.

WHEN & WHERE: Saturday 6 October, The Old Bar
