Ancient Champion: Columnist

We’re not really sure who Ancient Champion is as we only ever communicate via email, text, and the occasional postcard. There's so much we don't know, yet every article written lets us in a little more. Where’s Ancient Champion from? "Nowhere and everywhere and nowhere,” the Champ responded when we asked simply for tax purposes. 

What we are sure of is that the Champ is a musician who once dabbled in lo-fi garage rock & roll years before revivalists like The Strokes made it popular. About 10 or so years ago, put the electric gee-tars and effects pedals in storage, and dusted off his old keyboards and drum machines. These days the Champ makes “easy listening for difficult people.” Electronic instrumentals dripping with misanthropy and melancholy. It's good music to chill out to.

What’s next for Ancient? 2021 will see more of his works -- more music, more live gigs (pandemic permitting), more articles, and his eagerly awaited short story collection, Six Stories About Motoring Nowhere which will be released on SideCartel as part of their Sextet series. We’ll keep you posted.

All About and Contributors

HELP OUTSIDELEFT

Outsideleft exists on a precarious no budget budget. We are interested in hearing from deep and deeper pocket types willing to underwrite our cultural vulture activity. We're not so interested in plastering your product all over our stories, but something more subtle and dignified for all parties concerned. Contact us and let's talk. [HELP OUTSIDELEFT]

WRITE FOR OUTSIDELEFT

If Outsideleft had arms they would always be wide open and welcoming to new writers and new ideas. If you've got something to say, something a small dank corner of the world needs to know about, a poem to publish, a book review, a short story, if you love music or the arts or anything else, write something about it and send it along. Of course we don't have anything as conformist as a budget here. But we'd love to see what you can do. Write for Outsideleft, do. [SUBMISSIONS FORM HERE]
