A pre-publication party for SONGS IN THE KEY OF LOS ANGELES!
at Future Studio Gallery (aka Home of Chicken Boy on the Roof)
5558 N. Figueroa St., Los Angeles 90042 (Highland Park)
The book is based on the incredible historic sheet music collection at LA Central Library (the book has examples from 1849-1959), focusing on music about Los Angeles and Southern California. Plus essays on various aspects of the work.
This particular celebration has A LOT of NELA connections: Author Josh Kun (NELA resident) • Design by Future Studio (NELA office) • Snackage by Good Girl Dinette (NELA deliciousness) • Entertainment by Rob Waller & Paul Lacques of I See Hawks in LA (NELA residents).
• Books will be available for perusal and purchase (hardcover, $50, published by Angel City Press)
• Josh will be here all afternoon for signing and chatting
• Rob & Paul will play a sweet short set around 2:30, possibly including a song from the book that they have recorded
There will be many other events for this book throughout the summer (watch this space), but this is the first and we think it might be the funnest and mellowist. Also, the Chicken Boy Shop will be open and there's a lot of art bargains on the walls.
Free, but please rsvp: [email protected]
