Well, created in about 1997, when I was a mere fourteen, Furry Tree started life as an actual paper zine. |
|
The whole idea of me writing my own zine came about after I had read a zine called ‘Dirty Dog’. This was a really cool zine and had interviews and reviews of some of my favourites bands. Almost instantly I decided that I wanted to create my own. I emailed many bands and asked if I could interview them, but was often left disheartened when there was no reply. The first band I did manage to interview were ‘The Chineapple Punx’, who where a local OI! Punk band. I used this interview and wrote a few reviews and published my first copy of ‘Furry Tree’. The zine was well received, but the printing made it very costly and time consuming. I therefore decided to turn my zine into an e-zine. Hence this web site. The web site was launched in early 1999. At first the site was updated every week, but due to GSCE’s, A-levels, etc. And work and my girlfriend (bless her) my time was very limited. But now as I have finished the first year of my Music Production HND, I have four months off!!! So lots of time to update the site. Unfortunately I still only have serif page plus to create my site, so it is still rather primitive. |
