We’ve cited Clayton Colgin’s Bamboohead among the influential ‘zines that helped shape the underground aesthetic of San Diego at the turn of the ’80s. In honor of the new millennium and the net, Clay has reimagined his brainchild as Bamboohead 3000, available now on a MySpace page near you!
First up: an interview with Sasha Pfau of the Hot Moon, “a young band in San Diego that I first saw about six months ago … who just continue to energize my sense of what a young modern young band can be about today in the 21st century.
Have you ‘zine me? Formative San Diego music mags …
“The Hot Moon are retro-modern as it’s probably intended. … I know there’s a sea of people and bands harking to the past for their inspiration but Sasha and crew really deserve a bit of notice. … So what we have is the first conducted by Bamboohead in nearly three decades. I’m hoping you enjoy.”
Re: “current Sasha Pfau”
I’m now intrigued about any previous Sasha Pfaus….
And welcome back, Clayton!

Mikel: Arrrrrrrrgh! Typo. Fixed now. (For those who missed it, the second paragraph started, “First up: an interview with current Sasha Pfau of the Hot Moon … ” )
She could be “current” because of her electrifying personality …
Yes, welcome back Clay. I’m looking forward to reading your new Bamboozled. Any chance you might get any of the old issues scanned and posted?
That sounds like a great idea! Scanned & posted…labor intensive, but it means alll the more to love for all the Che Undies out there. clay, we all know you have a gift for gab-but this is a very intelligent & sensitive interview. Makes HOT MOON and the new music of San Diego seem all the more interesting!
More, please!
