Lee Thomas is the editor-in-chief and original founder of Far Out Magazine. Far Out began life as Gonzo journalism exploration of unsigned artists and independent music venues that has since evolved in stories about the weird, the wild, and the wonderfully offbeat corners of culture old and new. The journey from indie single reviews to cultural deep-dives started with a simple idea: create a space where the boundary-pushers and rule-breakers of the creative world could shine. That idea became Far Out Magazine—a place where the misfits and mavericks get their due, and where the content is always a little left of centre. At Far Out, we don’t just write stories; we curate the best of what’s out there and mix it with a bit of wit and a whole lot of attitude. My mission? To keep things fresh, offbeat, and always for the people of independent culture. As Hunter S. Thompson said, "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." That’s the spirit we live by.
