About Me


PEPPERMINT IGUANA is based in South Wales (UK) and has been around in one form or another since 1995. It is a Zine covering music, politics, and anything that interests us. The main focus at the moment is the website www.peppermintiguana.co.uk/ but we do put out old-fashioned paper fanzines occasionally (issue 5 published July 2007).
We used to put on gigs, and we might do in the future, if we feel like it… that’s the whole point, it’s a labour of love. Past gigs have included Tofu Love Frogs, P.A.I.N., Inner Terrestrials, Citizen Fish, Headmix, Tarantism, Dubmerge, The Top Cats, Astralaisa, New Model Army, John Otway, Terrorist Ballet Dancers From Hell, Captain Paranoid and the Delusions, Man, Spanner, This System Kills and many more.
What sort of music do we like? … Pretty varied really, lots of underground festy type stuff and anything else that takes our fancy, from chilled out vibes to full on sonic attack. The Zine tends to concentrate on the more obscure stuff… there would be no point trying to replicate the mainstream media, even if we wanted too!. Check out the website, you will soon get the drift.
