All Tomorrow's Parties: A Punk Rock Murder Mystery

Description: A young guitar player from Michigan is summoned to join a band in the seedy L.A. punk scene of the late 1970s, only to learn that his brilliant childhood friend, the lead singer, has disappeared. Before long, he is pulled into a noir-meets-leather world of sketchy characters on both sides of the law. “Mickey Spillane meets High Fidelity in this musical punk noir…for any fan of Dana Spiotta’s Eat the Document.” – Dana Bonn, power pop/punk rock DJ, This Is Rock ’n Roll Radio “B.D. Love paints a gritty picture of Los Angeles circa 1979 with its music dominated by the punk and power pop camps and sundry characters. He takes readers on a sweeping journey from the Hong Kong Cafe in Chinatown to Doug Weston’s Troubador in Hollywood and to the beach where, sadly, his murdered friend died, a crime he reluctantly pursues amidst the beer, whiskey, groupies, gigs, and cocaine. As he seeks the truth behind the murder, we see “the city of tiny lights” as he calls it, and its music scene, objectively from a visitor looking for answers as much or more as he is looking for a way out… just like every bad punk and most of the good ones." -Mat Gleason, Coagula Curatorial, Los Angeles, and Coagula Art Journal
