Bryce Galloway
Bryce Galloway has been self-publishing his own music since 1985 but only turned to the fanzine format in 2002.
Galloway's zine Incredibly Hot Sex with Hideous People is a quarter-yearly zine which is available for free pick up in his home town of Wellington at time of issue. Back issues are available through Galloway (stinkispinkis@yahoo.com), various NZ retailers and Melbourne Australia's Sticky Institute (http://blog.stickyinstitute.com). Incredibly Hot Sex with Hideous People is a personal zine that diarises Galloway's domestic life as mortgagee, husband and father-of-two in Wellington, New Zealand. Occasionally, issues of the zine pick up on other themes. Galloway's zine often uses the text and illustration format, at other times integrates cartooning. Some issues come with a CD of local musicians covering certain stellar pop icons. In 2011 the first 37 issues of Galloway's zine were anthologized into a single book by art books publisher Clouds.[1]
Galloway also released the CD/zine The Tower of Lint with collaborator Michael Brown. This zine described the lowlights of Galloway and Brown's floundering alt-country band Pony Club, during their time together in the late 90s.
