Author Ben Vendetta will speak with local music journalist Jason Pettigrew about his new book, Sunset Trip, tonight at 6:30 at the Happy Dog. Set in and around the Y2K Los Angeles psych rock scene, which included bands such as Brian Jonestown Massacre, the Warlocks, Beachwood Sparks and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, the novel centers on the life and times of a fictional music journalist. In addition, DJ IKE will spin psych, shoegaze and canyon rock. Admission is free. (Niesel)
