= Shindig! (magazine) = Shindig! is a popular music magazine that is published monthly in the United Kingdom. It has been published by Silverback Publishing since 2015. Before that it was published by Volcano Publishing from 2007.

History
Shindig! was founded by Jon Mills in 1992 and was initially published under the name Gravedigger as a photocopied fanzine that covered garage-punk music. The name Shindig! was adopted in 1994 to better reflect the broader content of the magazine and pay homage to the American Broadcasting Corporation show of the same name that brought the British Invasion to the USA. In 1997 Andy Morton joined Jon to work on Shindig! after he saw a review of a band he was in, Bronco Bullfrog, reviewed in the magazine. Up until 2002 it was published only once a year.

Shindig! was set up to cover obscure cult and collectable acts alongside mainstream artists from the 1960s and 1970s, like the Who, Slade and the Kinks. It also covers new acts adopting the sub-heading "The Best New Music Then And Now."
