Shindig!
What is Shindig?
Shindig! began in 1992 as a photocopied garage - punk fanzine called Gravedigger.
According to the official Shindig! website, it describes itself as;
"A publication put together with genuine understanding, sincerity and utter belief. We seek to end mediocrity in music magazines... to bring the scope and knowledge of old fanzines and specialist rock titles to a larger readership: quality journalism, columns, music and film history; exciting new bands and culture. From the most far-out ’60s sounds through country-rock and folk to soul and electronic experimentation. It's all there.
We have already inspired every major music mag... so let us inspire you too."
Publisher
Shindig! was originally published by Volcano Publishing, but has recently signed a deal with Silverback Publishing. Both are fairly independent and less well known.
Audience
Shindig!'s audience is focused on a niche audience. 82% of its readers are in the ABC1 group, with men making up 83% whilst 17% of women read it. The magazine achieves a worldwide circulation of 26,000.
