Thursday, Aug. 14, 7pm, Arise! Bookstore
Erick Lyle, of SCAM zine fame, will be reading from his new book from Soft Skull Press, On the Lower Frequencies: A Secret History of The City.

Erick Lyle’s On the Lower Frequencies is at once a manual, a memoir and a history of creative resistance and fun in a world run rotten with poverty and war. Whether handing out fake starbucks coupons for free coffee, dropping flyers on mall-goer’s heads that say “aren’t you glad this isn’t a bomb?” or having punk shows in laundromats, Lyle (formerly known as Iggy Scam) has shown the world over the years that you can resist consumerism and have fun and have a sense of humor at the same time.
