The Takeover

Ian Svenonius (reppin' Nation of Ulysses, Weird War, and The Makeup) wrote and published a book (with the fine folks at Drag City) a manifesto of sorts, called "The Psychic Soviet." The book, as I understand it, is the size of a handbook and is wrapped in pink vinyl (somebody's swagger jackin' Cam, huh?), which holds a collection of essays that focus on aspects of pop culture. That being said, Svenonius and his new book begin the inevitable LA takeover this weekend, starting at FAMILY on Sunday, then heading to Part Time Punks at the Echo Sunday night, and Part Time Punks at the Echo on Tuesday. Accompanied by Beat Happening/Dub Narcotic/K Records boss Calvin Johnson, all three events are set to be certifiable good times. Below are flyers, feel free to mix and match!
