Ladies & Gentlemen: A new music magazine is being created right here in the Twin Cities. The brainchild of former First Avenue designer Erik Westra and Aesthetic Apparatus designers Dan Ibarra and Michael Byzewski, Ladies & Gentlemen will include a 12" record album, interviews, essays, and more. Their description:

Ladies & Gentlemen is an all-encompassing arts magazine. The magazine is roughly 12 inches wide and 12 inches high. It is no coincidence that these measurements closely resemble those of an album. The outside cover is screenprinted. Inside this cover is a 24-page booklet containing words, drawings, and pictures incorporating a wide assortment of genres and topics. The cover also houses a 12” record containing exclusive music from six different bands generally involved in the booklet that accompanies it. Each issue is hand-assembled, signed, and numbered in an edition of 1000.
