BK: Sean Maloney Presents THE MODERN LOVERS (33 1/3) Book Launch & Listening Party w/ Brad Nelson

Join us to celebrate the release of a brand new 33 1/3 with author and music journalist Sean Maloney for a reading and listening party in the WORD Brooklyn basement. Sean will be in conversation with Sean will be in conversation with writer and Maura Magazine’s managing editor, Brad Nelson.

From the “War on Hippies” to the Great Rock ‘n’ Roll Swindle, the story of Modern Lovers is a high octane tale of Brutalist architecture, rock ‘n’ roll ambition and the struggle for identity in a changing world. One of punk rock’s foundational documents, the archetype for indie obsession and all but disowned by its author, The Modern Lovers was an album doomed by its own coolness from day one. Powered by the two-chord wonder “Roadrunner” and its proclamation that “I’m in love with rock ‘n’ roll,” The Modern Lovers is the essential document of American alienation, an escape route from the cultural wasteland of postwar suburbia. The Modern Lovers is the bridge connecting the Velvet Underground and the Sex Pistols; they were peers of the New York Dolls and friends with Gram Parsons and they would splinter into Talking Heads, The Cars, and The Real Kids.
