Cheep ads for early birds & last sampler CD slots

ISSUE 36 SAMPLER CD
Since the last post the sampler CD for Issue 36 has started to fill up nicely and we have just a few spaces still available at this point. So, if you want to hear one of your band's tracks on there when it's out in January (and have 1,000 others hear it too!) you need to get in touch now! If ya got a group who perfectly suit the sleazy vibe of the zine then drop us a line to bubblegumslutzine@gmail.com (please, no contact via myspace for this one!) and request full details.

We have pretty broad tastes but if in doubt as to whether your band fits the theme of the zine, here's a quick reminder of what we like from the music section of the profile; "Glam, cock rock, bar-room blues, Americana, sleaze, punk rock, trashy rock 'n' roll, goth rock, deathrock, dark cabaret, rockabilly, psychobilly, horror punk, the odd bit of alt-country and folk punk, and above all glamourous, original and genre-defying rock'n'roll ;)"

ISSUE 36 ADVERTISING SPACE - 20% OFF FOR EARLY BIRDS!
Also starting to fill up at this point is the ad space available in this issue - full colour is now limited, and the black and white is there until we wrestle with cramming all the great goodies planned for this edition into the remaining blank pages. So be sure to claim yours before then, as in the spirit of immending Christmas cheer we're running the usual 20% discount off black and white space for advertising early birds over the next couple weeks. This means that, for ads booked before December 6th, rates look like this;

Quarter A5 page b/w - £4.80 (usually £6)
Half A5 page b/w - £9.60 (usually £12)
Full A5 page b/w - £16.00 (usually £20)

Artwork can be taken up until the final deadline this issue of December 21st, as can requests for full price ads. To get it cheap though you need to get in before the 6th! For ad specs, and more info on rates and availiability for full colour space contact bubblegumslutzine@gmail.com

Now that Issue 35 is safely on its way to you all, or at least caught somewhere in Britain's crumbling postal system, it's time to turn our attentions to Bubblegum Slut's 36th edition, beginning with the free sampler CD.

If your band fits the trashy vibe of the zine and would be interested in getting a track featured next issue then you need to drop us a line to bubblegumslutzine@gmail.com (please, no contact via myspace for this one!) and request full details.
