The Scalloped Kidney

**The Scalloped Kidney** est un étape dans *Battle Craze!!*.

## Description

Le Scalloped Kidney est le bar qui réside en arrière-plan et qui éclaire la rue à l'extérieur. À l'intérieur du bar, Hammernanner, le propriétaire, lave les verres de la nuit tandis que sa nièce, Raula Jerricko, est assise au bar et regarde la bagarre. Koulu discute avec Hammernanner avec une tasse glacée, tandis que Monti Cerulean observe la lune nocturne à l'extérieur. Ceux qui se battent sur scène mènent leur combat sur la route extérieure, qui serpente au-dessus du bar.

La version L de cette étape se déroule au crépuscule. La teinte de la scène est d'un rouge chaud. Le rein festonné est complètement vacant.

Ride On Super Sound

### Products

Vinyl, cassettes, compact discs, comics, zines, weird books, band t-shirts, posters, assorted rock’n’roll ephemera and lamp repair.

## Social Media

### Website

rideonsupersound.com

**Ride On Super Sound**, stylised as **RIDE ON SUPER SOUND**, is a music, art, and lamp repair shop located in Ōtautahi Christchurch. The store has been running since 2018. It sells many self-published zines and comics, and encourages artists to bring them their work to sell.

From the store's "about" page:

> *"Ride On Super Sound specializes in new and second-hand vinyl, cassettes, compact discs, comics, zines, weird books, band t-shirts, posters, assorted rock’n’roll ephemera and lamp repair. It’s also home to a small but perfectly-formed experimental record cutting facility, a broken Risograph printer, a home-brewed point of sale system and the hopes and dreams of six foolish volunteers with a poorly-conceived business plan. Originally established in 2018 next to venerable indie venue Darkroom, it's currently situated at the top of three flights of outdoor stairs at 172 High Street, inside beloved Christchurch drinking spot Smash Palace. It will undoubtedly combust within the year, so prospective customers are encouraged to partake of its glorious pop-cultural bounty before it goes gently into that good night, as these special little places so often do. Ride On Super Sound opens at various hours between Thursday evening and Sunday afternoon, and occasionally on other randomly-assigned days, and by appointment. We encourage you to visit, and strongly urge you to create your own records, zines, comics and posters, so that we can make them available for public consumption."*

***The Shed is for Dads Only*** is a comic zine by Spencer Hall and Damian Smith. Published first as "The Shed", a weekly strip in Critic Te Ārohi magazine that ran for 18 weeks.

From the zine's preamble:

> Dogs, dads, wizards, goats, burgers. Starting with the urge to make a comic containing these elements and a particularly laconic, absurdist and deadpan sense of humour "The Shed" was born. 18 weeks of serialization in Critic magazine later, what you hold in your hands are the fruits of hundreds of hours of planning, writing, drawing, scanning and pixel-slaving, mostly under the influence of burgers, chips, hashbrowns, beer, energy drinks, and sleep deprivation. And this is just the prologue to an ongoing series. Keep an eye out for the next installment "The Shed of the Beards".
