Flipside (fanzine)
Flipside, also known as Los Angeles Flipside Fanzine, was a punk zine published in Whittier and Pasadena, California, from 1977 to 2002. The magazine was associated with its own record label, Flipside Records, releasing vinyl records beginning in 1978.
As a U.S. punk rock fanzine, Flipside chronicled the independent and underground music scene by fans of the punk scene. Flipside evolved from a photocopied fanzine to a magazine produced by web offset printing and featuring glossy covers.
Los Angeles Flipside Fanzine was launched in 1977 in Whittier, California, by five Whittier High School friends, Pooch (Patrick DiPuccio), Larry Lash (Steven Shoemaker), Tory, X-8 (Sam Diaz), and editor and publisher Al Kowalewski. The initial issues of the publication were produced by means of a photocopy machine, with Kowalewski's first modest goal set at selling 1,000 copies per issue. Beginning with a tiny local distribution in a few Los Angeles area record stores, within two years the publication had grown sufficiently to support sheet-fed offset printing on heavy white stock for production, with sales tallied in 12 American states and four countries. Later issues were produced on newsprint via a high speed web press and included a glossy magazine cover.
From 1979 until 1989, the fanzine was co-owned and co-edited by Hudley "Hud" Flipside, a pseudonym of Holly Duval Cornell.
By the magazine's sixth anniversary in the summer of 1983, the press run had grown to 6,500 for America, with an additional printing in Germany for European distribution.
Flipside fanzine put on a Burning Man-style festival in California's Mojave Desert at a location known as Jawbone Canyon for several years during the mid-1990s. It was much smaller and more localized than the actual Burning Man festivals and often featured bands that Flipside released on their own label. Special guests included Fugazi, the Offspring and Hawkwind's Nik Turner.[citation needed]
Flipside published a special 10-year anniversary issue titled "Los Angeles Flipside Fanzine Issue 54", documenting the first ten years of punk rock from 1977 to 1987 with 224 pages of band interviews.
For several years, the publishers also produced punk rock records under the label name Flipside Records. Inspired by the ability of small local labels such as Dangerhouse Records and Slash Records, Kowalewski and Peter Landswick launched the Flipside label in 1978.
