Our next artist feature for Volume 6 is the amazing based in Denmark with their wonderfully wacky psychedelic pieces in the style of old comics and pop art. “My name is Nicolai and I’m the person behind the pseudonym Koggi. Since I was a child I have always had a vivid imagination and I think that reflects in my work. Most of my works are posters for bands and I have a dream of creating my own comic one day.” We can’t wait to see the comic Koggi! Judging by the way your work looks in print, that’s a dream you need to fulfil!

For our final interview of Volume 6 of Kinda Weird Mag we went to the mighty Manchester we go to meet one of the most infectiously impressive and brilliant bands we’ve ever accidentally come across ever - the amazing Maruja. Having first discovered this brilliant bunch closing Ritual Union festival in Bristol last year, we were instantly hooked and have been following their journey ever since. They are flying right now, with one of the most exciting and electric live shows you’ll ever see. After 10 years of hard graft as working class brothers of the North... It couldn’t be more well deserved. We’re so excited to see what they do next - they ooze the spirit that the music industry needs right now, they are everything we love to see. This chat we had and the killer show at The White Hotel that followed were both an honour and a joy to witness, the 12 hour round trip on a coach felt like a meagre price to pay for their presence. We can’t wait to see it in print.

Tomorrow Volume 6 comes OUT OUT! Order yours now from our website, if you’re in London Town get down and celebrate with us tomorrow night 24/05 for a big fat headline supported by , and at .

Our next artist feature for Volume 6 is the amazing Büsra Ozen who is a passionate graphic designer with a background in fine arts based in Istanbul, Turkey. Büsra has had an impressive career so far in the art world as an art director/development manager in avenues of advertisement, marketing, post-production, character and environment development. “Illustration has always been her passion, serving as her personal haven where she can escape the rules of graphic design or brand guidelines, producing solely for herself.

In the moments between her demanding work schedule, she finds solace in her personal space, an area where she can indulge in playing games during evenings or weekends. Her illustrations, therefore, serve as a reflection of her inner world and ideas. They provide a sense of freedom, making her feel true to herself.” It’s an honour to feature you Büsra, we’re so glad to see the places you escape to for yourself.

This time around we were there to meet Rats-Tails who are simply wonderful both on and off the stage. Gathered up in the garden we got to have a lovely lengthy chat for Kinda Weird Mag ahead of their dazzling performance, where Courtney handed out sourdough bread to the bands admirers in the audience. A couple of weeks later, we had the pleasure of having them take the stage for us! We can’t wait to share our first ever chat, hopefully of many, with this lovely bunch.

We had the absolute honour of hosting our friends Flowers of Evil for a night of complete party vibes at The George Tavern last month, before which we sat down for an exclusive interview for Volume 6. Having caught the band in Manchester last year, we decided immediately that we couldn’t get by until we knew more about them - adorned with olympic outfits and endless energy they are an absolutely infectious bundle of fun that you want to be a part of. Flowers of Evil were also a part of Come Closer, our debut film at Kinda Weird, amongst many other legends speaking up about the issues faced by grassroots musicians in the UK. We implore you to go and see them, we’ll be escaping to Evil Land whenever we get the chance. We hope you enjoy this chat as much as we did.

Pre-orders are now open for Volume 6! Head to the link in our bio to get your orders in, we have also released some one-off merch for this issue so if you have the means to, go wild!

Meet the incredible our next artist feature for Volume 6. We are suckers for trippy animations at Kinda Weird and Francesca is the queen of everything you need in that department. Co-founder of CIANG studio, making the likes of music videos, animated shorts, graphic novels and comic books - we can’t wait to print this!

“Her uniquely extravagant style of drawing features surreal landscapes inhabited by strange anthropomorphic characters. Lemons, frogs, and tigers wearing masks with human attributes. Everything can become a character with a strong personality. Mushrooms, in particular, are always present in her works. Mushrooms with eyes and long legs create a psychedelic atmosphere in her drawings.”

MERCH DROP! We at Kinda Weird need your HELP! We’re doing a crowdfunder of sorts. We’re used to flogging magazines over a merch table at Kinda Weird Weekends but with the whopping plans we’ve got in store for the rest of 2024, we need to look to our community for a little bit of help.

We find ourselves at a tipping point, a crossroads, a sticky sitch in our financials (which a cost of living crisis and a barren landscape of making money in the industry you love will do to you) - we know times are tough for so many of the community right now, sending love and strength to anyone else who might be struggling.

If you are in a position to buy a ticket, a t-shirt, a magazine, a limited edition poster, take out a membership, any or all of the above - now would be a lifesaver of a time to do it to help us get Volume 6 on the printing press by the weekend.

For merch: https://www.kindaweirdmagazine.com/shop

For memberships: https://patreon.com/KindaWeirdForever?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink

We’re completely independent, we fund this thing ourselves, we’ve made a loss for longer than we can remember - but we believe in a future where the grassroots sector of the music industry can thrive off the love of it. We believe in the people we are documenting and celebrating. We believe in the bands we’re putting on stages. We believe in the voices we are giving a platform to be heard.

We’re not going to stop, but any help we can get now will give us the muscle to take it all the way.

Links to all the fun things you can buy to save our souls can be found in our bio. Spread the word! All love and peace out! ✨

Meet our next artist for Volume 6 - the wicked cool and endlessly brilliant .

Up the Showers! The next interview for Volume 6 took place in the pub that Kinda Weird started in, the early days were as DIY as it gets and the lovely came all the way from sunny Brighton to play our first show here since we launched Volume Two. is a grand palace of an establishment that we have had the pleasure of running around in for a few years now. We first caught Austen Showers at their local lair supporting our friends and we were hooked. Watching Charlie, the lead singer, spin around on the cobbles of the venue the first time we came across her - we didn’t know what to expect when she came up to our digs. We won’t forget it in a hurry! This legend managed to spring herself from a table at the back of the room into - what must be - the first mosh pit the pub has seen, if not ever, then surely for many
years. Catch the full interview in Volume 6, which is coming so soon we could SCREAM!

Next up! We have the work of the wonderful, Toronto based, . We love her playful visuals and we think her work was born to be in print. With so much left to announce for Volume 6 and pre-orders coming soon, sit pretty and await some more magic. “Inspired by psychedelic posters and vintage advertisements, she strives to step beyond the boundaries of convention to create visually jarring imagery.”

It’s a pleasure to feature you Tiffany, welcome to the Kinda Weird Club. 💫

Meet our next artist for Volume 6! This is the incredible work of who is based in Bangkok, Thailand. Joanne is a digital creative and illustrator in both the 3D and 2D world. We love her style so much! “She believes in narration and imagination as the most powerful creative forces. Drawing is at the center of her interpretation practice and provides constant reflection and observation of the world.“

Pleasure to have you Joanne! Stay tuned for the rest of what we have in store for V6. 💫

Meet our next artist feature for Volume 6, the wonderful .crickets from Budapest, Hungary. With a style derived from a touch of weirdness, a bucketload or absurd fun and a playful aestheticism, we sign ourselves up with ease. “I like blending detailed surfaces with abstraction and creating exciting perspectives, background elements with tiny details. I am very interested in illustrating imaginary scenes and stories that capture a moment but convey more about what is happening or what is to come.”

We’re chuffed to feature you Zsófia, welcome to the Kinda Weird club. ♥️

WONDERFUL NEWS! We are ecstatic to announce that Kinda Weird Mag is now being sold at the legendary Ally Pally!!! This venue is truly iconic and wonderful, it’s for sure the biggest and best of our favourite venues in London ~ it’s a dream come true that they wanted to put our little mag on the shelves. If you’re planning on getting down at Alexandra Palace any time soon, be sure to pick up a copy of Vol 1 - Vol 2 or Vol 3. ✨

ATTENTION PLEASE! Our event at Signature Brew Blackhorse Road on 26/11/22 hangs in the balance. This is a fight or flight situation. Here’s a quick snippet of some of the incredible creatives that make up Volume 3 of Kinda Weird Mag. Along with a quick roundup of what our launch party has to offer! We have not sold enough tickets *sobs* to secure the incredible venue that we have lined up to host this stellar event to welcome our next edition of the magazine and send out 2022 with a bang. We absolutely adore the bands that are due to play this gig!!! WE ADORE THEM. Please help us put it on!!! We’re talking about Rival Karma, Longheads, Rude Films, Monakis, PLAY DEAD, Natalie and the Monarchy AND Sophie Kilburn all on the same lineup here, we ain’t messing around. Access all of their music (and TICKETS) from the link in our bio. We are (at this point) begging all Kinda Weird folk planning on coming down to our whopping all dayer with 7 brilliant bands to please buy tickets on pre-sale (via the link below) so that the show can go ahead. This lineup is months in the making as is Volume 3 so we feel it would be such a waste to let it go by without this amazing party that we’ve planned and we promise that if we can make this happen. It. Will. Be. THE BEST. We are charging a measly £10 per ticket for 7 bands. What. It’ll be more expensive on the door on the day, please buy ahead. We don't know what profit looks like because we've never made one and we most certainly won’t here but we do it anyway. Our focus has always been on celebrating and documenting the grassroots, trying to create a better community spirit in London for music and building each other up. We understand that times are super tough and money is tight at the minute and a lot of us are super busy within music and creative circles - but we’d really appreciate support if you can give it. If the show doesn’t go ahead. All ticket holders will receive a full refund from DICE. Ticket lin
