Sit back with beer and chips as Eric Davidson, former frontman of New Bomb Turks, tells outrageous tales of his experiences of getting down and dirty in the raw, lo-fi, gunky sound scene. He talks about his new book, We Never Learn, and also about his coevals like the Dwarves, Gories, Supersuckers, and Teengenerate, and screens rare concert footage from some of the bands he writes about. Might be the perfect way to cap of week of intense concert-going — that is unless you win tickets to Gories.
