Spuno was a punk fanzine, bizarrely subtitled Dressing Gown News, based in Bath, UK. Edited and produced by Mark & Marcus (no surnames published), it ran to 3 issues in 1980.[1] The Spuno logo was the music magazine Sounds logo upside down.
The zine was largely made up of reviews of national and local bands, including live performances at Bath Pavilion and Bristol Trinity by bands such as Slade, Crass, Poison Girls, Identity Crisis, Au Pairs, Essential Logic, John Cooper Clarke, The Pop Group, The Slits, The Raincoats, Adam & The Ants, The Undertones, The Moondogs, Dolly Mixture, Warheads, Smegma, UK Subs, The Beat, Electric Guitars, and Echo & The Bunnymen. Other reviews included The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle. Cartoons by Eric Normal.
Spuno promoted a number of concerts by punk bands in Bath, sometimes in conjunction with local rock photographer Adrian Tripod. The promoters variously called themselves: Spuno, Spuno Tripod, and House Of Wax.
Spin Offs
Cartoonist Eric Normal produced two issues of his own fanzine. Limited to 20 copies each. Distribution was managed so nobody could own both copies.
