Cold Glitter launches in Vancouver, Toronto, Kitchener, and Hamilton!

May 6, 2025

Friends, Montreal and NYC were a blast! WOW! I have posted photos on social media but not here: should I be doing that more? I usually announce events but never post the “aftermath” documentation.
MORE BOOK EVENTS! There's sure to be some surprises! DO NOT MISS! Most of these book launches are free events with books for sale. Cold Glitter is a book published by Feral House that covers Glam Rock in Canada with style and humor and explores the universality of creating music and art far from cultural capitals. This book is a voyage of PIZZAZZAMATAZZ for anyone interested in excitement and Glam in general as well as those most curious about underacknowledged parts of Canadian cultural history.

I’ll be coming to Vancouver Saturday, May 24, Neptoon Records! This Cold Glitter book launch features special guest Glam Rock legends Thor, Frank Soda, David M of No Fun, and Drew Arnott (SLAN, Strange Advance)!!!
Then Toronto on Monday, May 26, Toronto Reference Library) with special guests Ed Pilling and Greg Godoovitz of Fludd, Robbie Rox, and Robert Swartz of Lynx!

Then Hamilton on Wednesday, May 28, at City and The City Books with Reg and Patti of Crackers! 7:30 PM
I’ll be introducing a screening of the newly restored (by Canadian International) The Rubber Gun May 29 at the Revue in Toronto! It’s a great movie with a soundtrack by Lewis Furey who has a chapter in Cold Glitter. Info and purchase tickets here:

    So it seems that there's no cure for my sinuses and LA's weather has become Vancouver now. Someone please smother me with a pillow.
