(Belated) Popkiss Launch Party, 11th June 2017

As you may know, Michael couldn’t make it to England for the original launch of Popkiss at Rough Trade… but now, a year-and-a-half later, there’s finally going to be a proper launch party, this time with bands playing and – hurrah! – Michael himself in attendance. You can buy tickets and find out more details here, but the gist is:

THE BETTER-LATE-THAN-NEVER POPKISS LAUNCH PARTY (PART TWO)
Rob Sekula (14 Iced Bears) + Paul Stewart (Blueboy) + Harvey Williams
and a Q&A with Michael White, hosted by Alexis Petridis

Sunday 11th June, 2017 5:30pm
Admission: £5.00

The Lexington
96-98 Pentonville Road
London
N1 9JB

Note the early start! But that also means it should be finished by around nine-ish, if you’re worried about Sunday trains. And there’ll be copies of the book for sale, guest DJs, all that sort of thing…

Popkiss book launch at Rough Trade

PopkissNovember 5th is, of course, traditionally the day on which, as soon as it gets dark, people in Britain gather in groups in order to “ooh!” and “aah!” at the extraordinary sights, noises and smells being created in front of their amazed eyes. And this year looks like being no exception as, on that very day, Popkiss, Michael White’s wonderful new book about Sarah Records, will be launched with an event at Rough Trade East. You can find out more details in Rough Trade’s own listing, but the gist is that copies of the book will be on sale two weeks ahead of the official publication date and there’ll be some sort of talk/discussion/game-of-charades/rustic-dance involving Michael, us, Lucy Dawkins (who made My Secret World) and chair Alexis Petridis. To guarantee a place you can pre-order copies online and then there’ll be a wristband. I know, wristbands. Get us.

So, just to write that out all more neatly:
