Lee Thomas is the editor-in-chief and original founder of Far Out Magazine. Far Out began life in Leeds as Gonzo journalism exploration of unsigned artists and independent music venues that has since evolved into stories about the weird, the wild, and the wonderfully offbeat corners of culture, old and new. Our 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 maddest misfits and mavericks get their due, and where the content is always a little left of centre. As Hunter S Thompson said, "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." That’s the spirit we try to live by.
