NOTE: THIS EVENT IS NOT AT SKYLIGHT BOOKS -- IT'S AT THE BOOTLEG THEATER. TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE IN-PERSON AT SKYLIGHT BOOKS OR ONLINE AT TICKETFLY.
Acclaimed author Mark Z. Danielewski and breakthrough U.K. rock band Biffy Clyro will co-headline Liner Notes, a one-of-a-kind event at Bootleg Theater in Los Angeles on Wednesday March 2, 2011, to explore the cross-pollination of music and literature while raising money for Homeboy Industries. Presented by SPIN, Skylight Books and Bootleg Theater, the event will feature performances by Biffy Clyro, readings by Danielewski and an audience Q&A session to examine how Danielewski’s 2006 novel Only Revolutions inspired the and’s 2009 album of the same name. Biffy Clyro and Danielewski will sign limited edition posters, books and CDs following the event.
All ticket and poster sale proceeds will benefit Homeboy Industries, a Los Angeles-based non-profit that has helped at-risk and former gang-involved youth become contributing members of our community through a variety of services in response to their multiple needs for more than 20 years. Free programs–including counseling, education, tattoo removal, job training and job placement–enable young people to redirect their lives and provide them with hope for their futures. More information is available at www.homeboy-industries.org.
The Liner Notes series, created and spearheaded by writer and music journalist Emily Zemler, aims to highlight the influence of literature on music, promote literacy, foster a love of reading among music fans and raise money for local nonprofit organizations. This is the fifth Liner Notes event and the first in Los Angeles.
