[bomp] Riot on Sunset Strip: Rock 'n' Roll's Last Stand in Hollywood -- is out!
The book I've been working on for the past nine years, Riot on Sunset Strip:
Rock 'n' Roll's Last Stand in Hollywood, is being released this week by
Jawbone Press of London. Arthur Lee of Love wrote the foreword. There's about
250 pictures, the book is 300 pages long, and it basically covers all there
records and Pop art happenings that took place in the Greater Los Angeles area
between 1965-1967. It'll be available at all fine bookstores and online
everywhere. If you are anywhere near San Francisco, L.A., Philadelphia or New
York City, there are also some boss events to come to (including some live
music, DJ things, plus symposiums). If you know anyone who'd be interested in
coming, pass this along. Thanks, and hope to see you this summer. -- Domenic
