Life in a Bungalo is a fanzine conceived by George Koroneos in 1995 as a creative outlet for aspiring writers, artists, and musicians. The magazine debuted in Fall 1995 under the title "Marked For Life", but was soon changed to "Life In A Bungalo" after receiving a cease and desist notice from the owners of Marked For Life Comics.

The fanzine was distributed throughout Northern New Jersey, and gained a following thanks in part to the zine's knack for interviewing bands right before they blow up. Early features include interviews with Kid Rock, Gwar, H2O, Lagwagon, and The Joykiller.

The zine's staff got into hot water with the guitarist of the Swingin' Utters who slagged Life In A Bungalo in a column in Psycho Moto Fanzine after receiving a less than stellar review in Life In A Bungalo #1.

In 2002 the magazine moved to the Web and began covering stripped-down rock ‘n’ roll and underground (urban) art, including vinyl toys, lowbrow artists, and graffiti. The Web version of Life In A Bungalo has received recognition from fans of My Chemical Romance for publishing one of the first interviews with the band, soon before their debut album dropped.
