"A relationship is a lot like a shark, you know," medd Woody Allen wrth Diane Keaton yn Annie Hall, "it has to constantly move forward or else it dies. And that's what we have on our hands, a dead shark." Addasu ychydig sydd ei angen, a digon posib fod Allen yn son am ddiwylliant y Gymru Gymraeg, diwylliant sydd, yn ddiweddar, wedi bod yn byw ar Dai Jones Bryn Fon overkill.
Mae'r cylchgrawn hwn yn ymgais i adlewyrchu pethau blaengar yn ein diwylliant cyfoes; barddoni a chanu, trefnu gigs, ffilmiau byrion, lluniau, llên, a'r gwaith o bwyso ar y rhai mewn grym i roi cydnabyddiaeth i'r diwylliant amgen hwn.
Yn syml, ein bwriad ni yw adlewyrchu pobl a phethau sy'n rhoi ychydig o ymdrech a bywyd in iaith an cenedl, yn troi i ffwrdd or prif ffrydiau ac yn creu pethau eu hunain am eu bod yn caru'r hyn maent yn ei wneud, ac nid am mai dyna yw eu swydd neu eu dyletswydd hyd yn oed.

"A relationship is a lot like a shark, you know," said Woody Allen to Diane Keaton in Annie Hall, "it has to constantly move forward or else it dies. And that's what we have on our hands, a dead shark." A relationship, yes - but if you think about it (a little too long) those words might just as easily apply to Wales' Welsh-Language culture, a culture that's scraped by, recently, on Dai Jones Bryn Fon overkill. (Thik old people and MOR.)
So, 'Siarc Marw' means 'dead shark'. It's a fanzine to reflect what excites us about contemporary Welsh culture; poetry, music, gigs, short films, photography, or simply the process of making those in power sit up and pay attention to this exciting alternative culture.
Basically, there are people out there making the effort; people who've turned away from the mainstream in order to do their own thing, simply because they want to and love to. Siarc Marw would like to meet those people.

O bryd i gilydd, mae Siarc Marw yn cynnal gigs dwyieithog yng Nghaerdydd, ond am y tro 'dy ni'n canolbwyntio ar Stafell Fyw :)
Siarc Marw *occasionally* put on bilinual gigs in Cardiff, but for the moment, we're concentrating on Stafell Fyw :)

Hi there,
Just wanted to let you know that there's a new song up from my upcoming album called 'I'ts Getting Harder', and i was just hoping that you could find the time to come and have a listen and maybe let me know what you think. Thank you. Math Bolton.

CHRISTOPHER REES [Blues / Soul / Country] "Intense and absolutely mesmerizing" Huw Stephens (BBC Radio 1)
CONVOI EXCEPTIONNEL [Minimalist / Rock / Hip Hop] "Convoi Exceptionnel are a Welsh rock and hiphop duo from the mean streets of Aberystwyth. Despite now living 300 miles apart and armed with only an SM58, a Mac and a twenty pound guitar from Argos they've managed to knock up some tunes for your enjoyment and get played on national radio"
DRAW ME STORIES [Alternative / Folk Rock / Indie] "A dark and raw yet perfectly polished and professional performance that will surely lead to bigger things...No doubt helped along by the fact lead singer Carl Hodgetts has the kind of Ian Curtis/ Paul Banks voice that makes girls go weak at knees!"
VALLEY LINES [Electronica / Dub / Psychedelic] "Valley Lines is the main musical project of Cardiff based electronic producer and sound artist Christian Gates, his musical output shifts from simplistic electro to densely layered electronica, often incorporating sound recordings from the natural environment with complex beats and synthesised noise"

Get the weekend started early ;~) Luv, [Thee alternative - EVERY month!]

STRAY BORDERS [Alternative / Experimental / Rock] "...current essential new Welsh tunes include a demo by Stray Borders which could give Mogwai a run for their money..." [Huw Stevens]
