"Whether you're a fan of Beat Happening, Bikini Kill, or Nirvana, this book will help you understand a scene that changed music history."
- Charles R. Cross, author of Heavier Than Heaven
Not even when it was
announced last month that a book chronicling Yo La Tengo and the rise of
indie rock was going to be released, and I was pretty damned excited
about that.
Love Rock Revolution: K Records and the Rise of Independent Music,
out July 10, details the history of the seminal Olympia, WA-based label
co-founded by Beat Happening's Calvin Johnson in 1982. Featuring interviews with figures associated with the label over its thirty-year-existence, there's a good chance artists including Beck, Mirah and members of Modest Mouse, Built To
Spill and Bikini Kill will make appearances. Here's hoping.
Love Rock Revolution will also be accompanied by a soundtrack that will be available from the author's website here between July 10 and July 17.
