Bizoo Farewell and Book Launch

Overview

Conceived in Toowoomba, Bizoo is a zine that has served to inspire the youth of regional communities, invigorating a creative spirit that goes beyond the dreary townscape of churches, nursing homes and terrible nightclubs. After five years of steadfast commitment to supporting the little guy, Bizoo is calling it a day. As a final farewell, the creators are releasing a book titled Bizoo: the best, the worst and the trash that never made it. They're also hosting a series of national launch events and sweet skills workshops.

The Sydney party will take place at the Rizzeria's pop-up space in The Rocks. Breaking the mould of stale book launches, there will be live music from acoustic performer Isaac Graham, an exhibition of past Bizoo covers, and a panel discussing the DIY ethics that have mobilised zines, festivals, music and other creative initiatives to voice the unspoken.

Punters can also get a copy of the retrospective book for free. Commemorating a legendary zine that went up against the big street press, it traces the history of the publication and is crammed with stacks of music news, interviews, gig photography as well as plenty of art and design.
