As I’m posting this, Paul Myers and S.W. Lauden—each an author and musician—are hosting a virtual book party to celebrate the release of Go Further - More Literary Appreciations Of Power Pop. If you click on the Discussions tab on the “Go Further” - Power Pop Book Party event on Facebook you can watch for free. As on their 2019 effort Go All The Way, Myers and Lauden present a collection of essays from respected journalists (along with a few fans and musicians) about iconic bands of the power pop genre. This time out, they give us 20/20, XTC, Shoes, The Records, Squeeze, Material Issue, The Replacements, and others. There’s also a piece combining The Archies and The Ramones.
Tonight’s virtual bash has John M. Borack, a member of The Armoires as well as a contributing editor for Goldmine magazine, and Mary E. Donnelly, who co-wrote (with Moira McCormick) a terrific book about the terrific band Shoes with Boys Don’t Lie - A History Of Shoes, as special guests. Also, there will be songs performed by Steve Allen from 20/20; Mike Randle from Baby Lemonade; Dave Hill from Valley Lodge; Brian Vander Ark from The Verve Pipe; Christina Bulbenki and Rex Broome from The Armoires; and Bill Demain from Swan Dive.
