On The Lower Frequencies: A Secret History of The City - Erick Lyle Thursday, Aug. 14, 7pmErick Lyle, of SCAM zine fame, will be reading from his new book from Soft Skull Press, On the Lower Frequencies: A Secret History of The City.

Whether handing out fake starbucks coupons for free coffee, dropping flyers on mall-goer’s heads that say “aren’t you glad this isn’t a bomb?” or having punk shows in laundromats, Lyle (formerly known as Iggy Scam) has shown the world over the years that you can resist consumerism and have fun and have a sense of humor at the same time.Read more... |
