EVERYTHING STARTED ABOUT HALF A DECADE AGO WITH THE RADIO PROGRAMME CALLED HIGH FREQUENCIES. THIS PROGRAMME WAS AND IS STILL DEDICATED TO THE STONER AND GENERALLY HEAVY AND PSYCHEDELIC ROCK SCENE. IT WAS THIS PROGRAMME ITSELF THAT GAVE US THE MAIN IDEA TO CREATE THE FANZINE THAT WAS ALSO CALLED HIGH FREQUENCIES!
THE 1ST ISSUE OF THE ZINE WAS PUBLISHED AT MARCH OF 2004 AND IT WAS ALL BLACK/WHITE (LIKE THE NEXT TWO ONES). IT CONTAINED ARTICLES ABOUT KYUSS, FU MANCHU, DOZER, ORANGE GOBLIN, RAMONES, ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE, GONG, GEORGE ROMERO ETC AND LIVE REPORTS FOR NATAS, NEBULA, CATHEDRAL ETC.
THE 2ND ISSUE- PUBLISHED AT JULY OF 2005 - CONTAINED ARTICLES FOR ELECTRIC WIZARD, STONER ROCK, LUCIO FULCI ETC, LIVE REPORTS FOR NIGHTSTALKER, THE MEANIE GEANIES AND A TRIPLE SPLIT CD (AGRINIO STONERS) WITH THE VERY EARLY AND ULTRA UNDERGROUND RECORDINGS OF THREE LOCAL HEAVY ROCK BANDS!!
THE 3RD ONE WAS PUBLISHED AT NOVEMBER OF 2005 AND IT HAD ARTICLES ABOUT STONER ROCK, MONSTER MAGNET, SPLIT ALBUMS, PORTISHEAD, LAND OF THE DEAD MOVIE ETC AND INTERVIEWS OF SONS OF OTIS AND UFOMAMMUT! IT ALSO HAD LIVE REPORTS FOR HAWKWIND, ELECTRIC WIZARD ETC.
THE 4TH ISSUE WITH PLENTY OF LAYOUT CHANGES (E.G COLOURED COVER AND BACK COVER) WAS PUBLISHED AT APRIL OF 2006 AND IT CONTAINED ARTICLES ABOUT DEAD FLOWERS, PORCUPINE TREE, MOGWAI, AN ARTICLE FOR HORROR CINEMA AND THE 3RD AND FINAL PART OF THE STONER ROCK ARTICLE. IT ALSO CONTAINED LIVE REPORTS FOR DEUS, CUBE/DIVE, SEMEN OF THE SUN/UNIVERSE 217 AND INTERVIEWS OF THE MEANIE GEANIES, SEMEN OF THE SUN AND PLANET OF ZEUS.
THE 5TH AND MORE RECENT ONE WAS PUBLISHED AT DECEMBER OF 2006. ALSO WITH COLOURED COVER/BACK COVER, THIS ISSUE CONTAINS AN ARTICLE DEDICATED TO THE BRITISH STONER/HEAVY ROCK SCENE, ARTICLES FOR KYUSS, DEAD MOON, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE AND AN ARTICLE ABOUT LOCAL SKATEBOARDING IN AGRINIO(INCLUDING 2 MINI INTERVIEWS OF 2 LOCAL SKATERS!). YOU CAN ALSO FIND LIVE REPORTS FOR MUDHONEY, RADIO BIRDMAN, NIGHSTALKER, THE MEANIE GEANIES, PLANET OF ZEUS/LIQUIDUST,PUKKELPOP FESTIVAL(BELGIUM),SUMMER SLANG FESTIVAL(GERMANY) AND AN INTERVIEW OF LIQUIDUST.
AS A CONCLUSION WE WOULD LIKE TO MENTION THAT THE PURPOSE OF THIS NON PROFIT FANZINE IS FIRST OF ALL TO SATISFY OUR PERSONAL NEEDS FOR DOING SOMETHING CREATIVE AND SECOND TO LET ALL OF YOU MY FRIENDS KNOW OUR CULTURAL IDEAS AND THOUGHTS AND OFCOURSE CONTRIBUTE TO THE UNDERGROUND AND ALTERNATIVE VIEW OF MUSIC/ARTS/CULTURE AS WELL AS TO AN ALTERNATIVE VIEW AND WAY OF LIFE.
IT WOULD BE SUCH A BIG MISTAKE IF WE DID NOT MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT THE TWO OTHER ACTIVITIES THAT GAVE THE IDEA FOR THE MAKING OF THIS FANZINE OR ARE DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE ZINE:
1. THE RADIO PROGRAMME HIGH FREQUENCIES AT THE RADIO STATION AGRINIO 937FM (www.agriniofm.gr)!THE RADIO STATION COVERS A BIG PART OF GREECE AND THE PROGRAMME IS ON AIR EVERY THURSDAY AT 23.00-00.00!FOR INFO PROMOS,CONTACT:

HIGH FREAK TEAM IS A TEAM THAT TRIES TO OFFER A DIFFERENT AND ALTERNATIVE APPROACH OF THE DAILY LOCAL-AND NOT ONLY-LIFE BY ORGANISING MANY ALTERNATIVE EVENTS SUCH AS LIVES, PARTIES, MUSIC NIGHTS, RADIO MUSIC NIGHTS AND IS OFCOURSE RESPONSIBLE FOR BOTH THE RADIO PROGRAMME AND FANZINE HIGH FREQUENCIES!
