About Black Beach

Black Beach was a greasy low-fi rock band from the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago. Our name referenced a political prison in Africa and a nude beach in La Jolla, California.

In the course of our 6-month tenure we were threatened with a lawsuit for copyright infringement; labeled "frat boys" by an angry Ohio art student; upstaged by a Stevie Winwood cover band; and pelted with hockey tape. We persevered long enough to record 3 scratchy demos to Tascam 8-track. Then we called it a day.

Much love to all the Loyola kids, barflies, girlfriends, neighbors, "cougars," and weird stalkers who comprised our audience. I guess we should also thank the dive bars that let us play; thanks, dive bars. Thanks also to all the other bands we played with, namely, Hardly Working, Maya Vada, and Hay Perro.

Thanks again for listening, critiquing, and going to the shows.

GUD Magazine	Feb 26 2008 8:21 PM Just wanted to let you (and your comment-reading friends) know that GUD Issue 2 is now available for purchase! And if you create a GUD Magazine acccount, you'll get a full story or poem from the issue free, just to show you what we're made of! Issue 2 celebrates Heaven, Earth, and Space in-between; it is touched by religion, grounded in technology and comfortable with the occult. Including a language-stretching piece triggered by the Talmud from the legendary Hugh Fox, poems by haiku heavy-hitter Jim Kacian, the surprisingly touching “By Zombies; Eaten” from Christopher William Buecheler, and an alien perspective on human spirituality by Tina Connolly in the remarkable “The Salivary Reflex” — all part of a drool-worthy two-hundred page selection of over twenty authors and artists.

GUD Magazine	May 22 2007 5:15 AM Just wanted to let you (and your comment-reading friends) know that GUD Issue 1 is now available for purchase! Issue 1 comes to life with Darby Larson's "Electroencephalography" where an experiment in robot-building goes terribly awry. And if you've ever woken up with an unexpected physical deformity—say, an arrow in your heart—you'll truly enjoy the next story. There's also a smattering of flash fiction and psychedelia; a straight-out story where things aren't what they seem, poetry that takes you from the perverse to the sublime, some magic realism, science fiction, and a few letters to another species thrown in for good measure. We haven't forgotten those of you with a literary bent. In addition, the artwork in this issue is particularly strong, with oil paintings, watercolors, photography, and photo illustrations complementing the words with which they are paired. Thanks for being a friend!
