***
On Monday, November 17th, VBS.tv and Dewars present a talk with celebrated musicians, Mike Watt and Jennifer Herrema hosted by none other than Ian Svenonius (Nations of Ulysses, Make-up.)  This will all go down at the historical LA Central Library’s Mark Taper Auditorium. The doors open at 6:30pm, the talk will be followed by an open bar by Dewar.  Must RSVP to attend, do so at: www.viceland.com/softfocus

MIKE WATT is best-known for co-founding the rock bands The Minutemen and fIREHOSE; as of 2003, he is also the bassist for the reunited Iggy Pop & The Stooges and a member of the art rock group Banyan.

JENNIFER HERREMA is a rock music singer, song writer, record producer, artist, and model best known for her work as one half of the influential rock band Royal Trux.

IAM SVENONIUS is not only a lyricist and performer of unparalleled depth and intensity (in bands such as the Nation of Ulysses, Cupid Car Club, Make-Up, and Weird War), but also a secret custodian of rock lore and a theorizer of cultural connections. For supporting evidence, see his recently released book The Psychic Soviet. He lives, like many of America’s national treasures, in Washington DC.
