Theatre of the Absurd presents

Madzine (C’est La Vie Special Madzine Edition, 2023, 28 pp.)

Product Description

We’re thrilled to celebrate Madness’ first #1 studio album in 44 years with you. We invite you to join us on a 4-month journey from the beginnings of the new album promotional campaign to the 2023 UK C’est La Vie Tour and the final night in Birmingham. Our 24-page Madzine Special is packed with fascinating stories and insights.

You’ll read about the fan-only announcement of a limited edition CD and the crazy online behavior in the feature “Similarly Late? That’s Life!” We’ll take you behind the scenes of the BMG social media promotion and album reveal, which included efforts to play along that became a viral hit in “Playing The Nonsensical?” You’ll also discover the available formats of the new album in “Options? If I Go Mad…” and you get a chance to reflect on the marketing campaign through radio appearances, TV interviews, music media reviews, in-person signings and Q+A sessions in our exclusive article “Reflection of Madness.” + much more!

Madzine magazine is a semi-professional and non-official publication for Madness and music fans. For those who love Madness, there is an opportunity for a new generation to experience the charm of a “Fanzine”. Although the original fans from the 80s may be content with their past, this Madzine has a unique look, feel, and character that distinguishes it from other publications. Within its pages, readers can delve into the past with one-of-a-kind articles, in-depth research from the Madness archives, and exclusive never-before-seen photography designed to introduce all fans to a new world of Madness.

It’s been several years since any such issue of a Madness zine landed on anyone’s doorstep. Sure, you can get up to the minute Madness news online, but there’s nothing like sitting down with a good zine and giving yourself a break from a screen – even better, you now own a physical piece of Madness history. So join our vibrant community of Madness enthusiasts and collectors from all over the world! Our subscribers hail from countries like Japan, Ireland, New Zealand, the Netherlands, the United States, France, Spain, and the United Kingdom.

    The Ultimate “C’Est la Vie” companion:

    Madzine has done it- they’ve created a companion piece to not only the album, but the mad journey that is “C’Est la Vie!” From the background and history, to the descriptions of the album editions and formats, everything is there. Darren Bowen remains up-to the minute with reviews of live performances and appearances, creating a consummate account of the experience from as many perspectives as possible. The author shows his talent for graphic design, creating beautiful and dramatic images fully inspired by the album and promotional artwork. . Lastly, I was honored to participate in a bit of the madness; Darren, thank you for the opportunity to write a piece for the ‘zine, tying in the influence of Absurdism and Samuel Beckett!

    A beautiful companion to the album

    I absolutely love this companion zine to the new album!! It’s incredibly informative, and adds to the enjoyment of the listening experience as a whole. It’s colourful and very well written. I’d certainly recommend it to any Madness fan who hasn’t already purchased it!!! I’m looking forward to the U.S. tour companion issue!!!
