Plazm magazine was founded in 1991 as an artist resource. In the early years we held live music events with bands like Crackerbash, Dead Moon, Hazel, Pond, and The Spinanes, raising funds for our fledgling magazine, and shipped magazines from a beat-up VW van. Here’s a link to some of the old posters. Thank you to all the great artists that gave so much energy and contributed to these events.
