From 60sgaragebands.com: The next issue of UGLY THINGS (#22) is tentatively scheduled to hit the streets by the end of October, and it again looks like another stellar issue: "First of all there is the epic - and we do mean EPIC - third installment of The Misunderstood story. Co-headlining is the story of 'The Other Them': The Belfast Gypsies by Richie Unterberger. We have also eye-opening exclusive interviews with Ace Kefford of The Move and Chris Youlden of Savoy Brown, and features on The Wild Cherries and The Twiliters. Plus 'The Prehistoric Pretty Things': the scoop from their pre-Viv Prince drummer, Viv Broughton, complete with drop-dead cool, never-before-seen prehistoric photos. As with every issue we trip around the world to uncover stories on bands like The Matadors from Czechoslovakia, The Checkmates from Singapore, The Speakers from Colombia, Nigeria's Fela Kuti and France's own Plastic Bertrand."

In other exciting news on The UGLY THINGS front, currently in the very early planning stages is a CD compilation of The Bush / Bushmen. According to Mike Stax, "So far there are four acetate tracks, all from 1966. The Bushmen tapes are probably from 1965, and there may be more Bush stuff from 1966-67, plus of course the three singles on Hiback." We'll provide more information as it becomes available.
