This very special event sees the UK launch of the book "Lost in the Grooves" with a rare live appearance from psychedelic indie legends The Orgone Box, plus Cult With No Name and Helen Fisher. As well as live music, the evening will see talks from contributors to the book, fanzine editors and record collectors, with a smattering of exclusive merchandise stalls.

About the book "Lost in the Grooves: Scram's capricious guide to the music you missed" - Kim Cooper and David Smay (Ed.), Routledge, 2005. For the past 12 years, the L.A.-based magazine Scram has championed the work of musicians who might otherwise fly beneath the mainstream critical radar. Here, Scram editrix Cooper and longtime contributor Smay display the sense of fun that distinguished their previous collection "Bubblegum Music is the Naked Truth," in an immensely entertaining, informative and sometimes exasperating encyclopedia, in which more than 75 contributors offer over 250 entries (a series of "miniature love letters") about their favourite artists and albums. With praise offered for works by Captain Beefheart alongside the Cowsills, no single genre or artist is considered outside the sphere of the book’s interests.

About The Orgone Box: Upon a solid framework of Beatles inspired melodic inventiveness, The Orgone Box – lead by Rick Corcoran - adds layers of pulsing psychedelia, post punk/new wave dynamism and a dazzling overlay of classic blazing-guitar rock. Most renowned for the classic 1994 EP "Judy Over the Rainbow" (Chrysalis), the recent release of no less than three Orgone Box collections have helped to finally secure the band’s rightful place in the definitive history of British guitar pop.
