Garage (fanzine)
Garage was a music fanzine based in Dunedin, New Zealand, which was created and edited by journalist Richard Langston. Six issues were published during the 1980s. The first issue was only 18 photocopied pages and produced in a very small edition, but the final issue was printed in a run of more than a thousand. Langston had returned to Dunedin in 1985 after living and working in London, and he created Garage out of his enthusiasm for the New Zealand music scene at the time. Garage became a reference especially for the nascent Flying Nun scene which in its early days was based largely around the city's Dunedin Sound music. Richard Langston is now a television journalist with New Zealand's TV3. Distribution
