Bet you'd just about forgotten all about Interzone, huh? Well, these things
have a way of coming back to haunt you.

"Junk", as few of you know, was the name we were going to use for the
Interzone Magazine -- one of the many Interzone projects that never got off
the ground. "JUNK:MAIL" is the electronic equivalent. It's (going to be) a
semi-regular text document which discusses the electronic/industrial/techno/
goth/alternative scene in Perth and perhaps Australia-/World-Wide.

To start us off, some news.

NEWS-------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Dominion:
  ---------
  Ex-IZ DJs Brad, Claudine, James & Nathan, in association with Gorgon
  Records, are planning a Gothic/Industrial BYO Club (currently called
  "Dominion") to run regularly in the basement of the Alysian Empire building
  in William Street. Dates, Times, Details etc. are forthcoming.
  The club will present an (invitation-only?) preview on XMas Eve 1995.

  Clan Perth:
  -----------
  Members of a number of Perth Electronic/Industrial Bands have announced
  plans to establish a Clan Analogue (http://sysx.apana.org.au/clan) branch
  in Perth. This collective, originating in Sydney but with branches
  worldwide, exists to promote and coordinate electronic musicians, artists
  and DJs. Clan Perth will run a regular event to showcase the talents of
  its members. The current favoured venue is the Old Customs House, Freo.
  The group ran a successful and entertaining private party on XMas Eve 95
  which was reminiscent of the very best of Interzone's "Wasteland" gigs.

STUFF------------------------------------------------------------------------

  The Great Venue Hunt:
  ---------------------
  Interzone is currently in hibernation, seeking an appropriate venue. We
  need a sizeable venue with an Accommodation Notice for at least 300 people
  (when running as a Nightclub). Our massive losses in the Murray Street
  venue (mainly due to our sizeable investment in plumbing, aircon, emergency
  lights, fire systems etc.) has left us very reticent to spend big on a
  decorating a new venue, so it should be usable with no more than a few
  hundred dollars worth of changes. This is a hard ask, we know. Nevertheless
  we're confident we will find a venue (maybe with your help) by mid-96.
  
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, that's a quick example of the kind of stuff JUNK:MAIL is going to
contain. This first edition (BUILD 951227 -- don't you just love geek-speak?)
exists primarily to test the mailing list, to see who's interested and who's
not. I'm looking for feedback too (see below), so bang off a reply if this is
of even vague interest to you.

Cya,
JEREMY

   WHO IS JEREMY G BYRNE AND WHY IS HE SENDING THESE TERRIBLE THINGS TO ME?

  Well might you ask. I guess I'm kinda the online Interzone contact. I main-
  tain the website (http://www.midnight.com.au/interzone) and now this
  Mailing List (the subscribers to JUNK:MAIL), and I answer correspondance
  directed to our email account (interzone@midnight.com.au). You're getting
  this because I have discovered your email address in some ancient and hoary
  old communication which  links you with Interzone (it might have been the
  old Mailing List, the list we collected at "The Terminal Birthday Party" in
  March 95, or it might have been some other, even more obscure source). If
  you don't want to get this any more, please post to interzone@ with
  "UNSUBSCRIBE" in the Subject Line and your email address in the body of the
  message. If you want to sign someone else up, do the same except put
  "SUBSCRIBE" in the Subject Line. If you've got something you'd like to say
  to everyone on the list, post it to interzone@ with "CONTENT" in the
  Subject Line. Messages arriving without "CONTENT" in the Subject Line may
  still find their way into JUNK:MAIL unless you state "not for publication"
  clearly in the body of the message.
  NB: for those of you clever enough to notice the "izlist@" in the "From:"
  line, please ignore this for the moment. I'll let you know when the list
  is working properly. For now, just post everything to interzone@. Thanx.
