Shindig! began in 1992 as a photocopied garage-punk fanzine
called Gravedigger. A couple of years on editor Jon ‘Mojo’ Mills and PJ
Crittenden reinvented the title as Shindig! as a tip of the hat to the ABC TV
show that took The British Invasion to America and paved the way for folk-rock,
garage music and everything that followed.
After a long, and eventually destructive, relationship with Volcano
Publishing – that took the magazine to the high streets of the world – Shindig!
entered 2016, the other side of its celebrated 50th issue, bigger and better,
thanks to fabulous new publisher Silverback. Shindig! re-emerged under the wing
of Volcano Publishing in the early noughties and has been popular throughout
the high street ever since, growing way beyond its garage roots.
