SAM MCPHEETERS (SPOKEN WORD)
7:30 PM @ TIME TESTED BOOKS, 1114 21ST STREET, SACRAMENTO. $5 DONATION PLEASE.
hey folks...in case you thought i was taking it easy i set up two events in one night in sac next week. i'll let you know about the second one in a day or so after you've had time to digest this, but trust me when i say you will have time to go to both of them and they are both equally valid in terms of entertainment dollars. the first of these events consists of bringing SAM MCPHEETERS to town for a spoken word engagement. if you were buying punk records in the 90's, sam's name probably carries a good amount of currency.
if you were living under a rock or perhaps are under the age of 30, let me give you a little background:
sam was born in 1969 in lorain, ohio and was raised in albany, ny. he is the former lead singer of BORN AGAINST and WRANGLER BRUTES, a founding member of MEN'S RECOVERY PROJECT, and owner of the now defunct VERMIFORM RECORDS. sam has also done a number of zines (ERROR, SHOOTING SPACE, and his latest fiction zine, CLOG) in addition to a lot of fantastic freelance writing for various rags (OC Weekly, The Stranger, The Village Voice, VICE, etc.). he currently resides in los angeles.
as for sam's spoken word set, he'll be reading some selections from CLOG and other works, some of which he'll even have for sale. i strongly recommend checking this out, sam is a very good writer with an extremely dry sense of humor and his delivery is excellent. i pick my friends by who laughs at this kind of stuff, so bring a couple of bucks knowing that my strongest personal endorsement is behind this event.
in the meantime, here's a few online things sam's got running:
