About

If you’re new here, hi! Kinda Weird is a concept we’ve been developing for some time, created to channel and challenge the rollercoaster of these times through art, community spirit, and live music. We started out running gigs in London as a mini squad of four creative mates - Charlie, Alfie, Butch & Julianna - we bonded over a love of bands in the scene, live music and a desire to throw out the rulebook and make something real.

Kinda Weird Weekends was designed as a hub for creatives, musicians, & party-people alike. Our goal was to bring people together, celebrate music at a grassroots level, show pretentiousness and snobbery the boot and get creatives talking about and supporting each other’s passion projects again. A place of no judgement, and ultimately good vibes. In an industry that often feels against you, we wanted to create a vibrant space that cares about its artists far beyond the bill and we pride ourselves on being a call for change from the underground up.

Kinda Weird Mag rumbled out of that mission, so we decided to make a print-only, no-bullshit publication to document and celebrate people who adorn its pages. We have been and long aim to continue shouting from the rooftops about the bands we love, the artists we meet, and the wider creative community because we fundamentally believe that’s what they all bloody well deserve. Our magazine is a space to showcase and broadcast creativity in all its forms at its roots - that’s what we’re all about. Thank you for supporting it!

Carrying a lot of love and a lot of rage at the same time, we’re a bunch of folk hellbent on celebrating the incredible creatives, musicians, and party-people we’ve come to know and love. Our aim is to give voice to those starting out, in a sector where recognition doesn’t always come easy if at all. We want to create a lasting record of the energy, talent, and passion that keeps grassroots culture alive here and now. Cheers to that.

Kinda Weird Mag is an independent celebration and documentation of all those who feature in it; a physical, printed, salute to like-minded beacons of art and community. Get involved.
