News / New Releases Book release party this weekend

Posted By on Thu, Apr 23, 2009 at 10:36 AM

Written by Michael G. Plumides Jr., the book explores the infamous 4808 Club that used to exist in Uptown Charlotte:

Kill the Music is the true story of a girl crazy college radio idealist and his relationships between family, friends, enemies, and the politics of the music scene. Set in the "Bible Belt" during the late 1980's and early 1990's, this poignant account explores his experiences as a college radio deejay at WUSC-FM, and the owner of the ill-fated and controversial 4808 Club in Uptown Charlotte, North Carolina. Through entertaining conversations with legendary rock stars, tales of sexual liaisons, and the ins and outs of concert promotion, Kill the Music is a no-holds-barred comedic, skewed, enlightening and sometimes sad look into a past not so long ago, and how oddly our society is connected.

In addition to a book signing, there will be live performances by Leisure McCorkle, Something about Vampires and Sluts, The Independents and Pattrick McKenna.

Portions of the $10 entry fee will go to Americans for the Arts.
