DC Bushwick Book Club is excited to be presenting an afternoon of new works inspired by Kid Congo's memoir, Some New Kind of Kick! Join them at the library for live music, a short film and a Q&A.
Some New Kind of Kick is an intimate, coming-of-age memoir by legendary guitarist Kid Congo Powers, detailing his experiences as a young, queer Mexican-American in 1970s Los Angeles through his rise in the glam rock and punk rock scenes. It's a story of personal transformation, addiction and recovery, friendship and belonging, set against the relentless creativity and excess of the ’70s and ’80s underground music scenes.
The first 20 people who arrive will receive a free copy of the book!
Participating artist lineup:
Bash Rodriguez (music)
Boy Meets Pearl (music)
Camilo Montoya (music)
