WBSTYN LAUNCH PARTY

By now your copy of Tony Rettman's Why Be Something That You're Not is probably swollen with toilet mist from its July/August stint in your bathroom. It may come as a surprise to you then, that the NYC launch of WBSTYN is tonight, just two months shy of its release date, at the powerHouse Arena.

If you haven't heard about it, the book is an extensive history of the Detroit hardcore scene in the early 80s, and it's chock full of photos, fliers, and a bunch of other stuff you'd never see unless you were immersed in the Detroit scene three decades ago.

Rettman'll be there giving a reading and signing books, and rare hardcore videos will be screened as well. All the deets are down there and you can RSVP [here](mailto: touchandgo@powerHouseArena.com).

Why Be Something That You're Not Launch Party
7pm - 9pm
powerHouse Arena
37 Main St. - Brooklyn, NY
