04.23: Ian Svenonius
2013-03-15 00:36:47| Powells Books Events Calendar
Ian Svenonius's experience as an iconic underground rock musician — playing in such highly influential and revolutionary outfits as The Make-Up and The Nation of Ulysses — gives him special insight on techniques for not only starting but also surviving a rock 'n' roll group. He's written an instructional guide on how to do so, which doubles as a warning device, a philosophical text, an exercise in terror, an aerobics manual, and a coloring book. Supernatural Strategies for Making a Rock 'n' Roll Group (Akashic) features essays on everything the would-be star should know to get started. This event is sponsored by Music Millennium.
