The book is complete and off to the publisher!<\/p>\n

In the end, my research for Disturbing the Peace: 415 Records and the Rise of New Wave<\/i> encompassed 96 interviews (plus untold email exchanges), and the final manuscript clocks in at 55 chapters, plus a foreword (more news on the latter soon). Not counting the six interviews conducted for the original SF Weekly<\/i> story in November 2020, work on the book began in mid-January. The bulk of interviewing was completed by the end of March, and writing began in mid-April. I finished writing \u2013 and running the manuscript through four read-throughs\/edits \u2013 on June 28.<\/p>\n

Target date for publishing is October. I\u2019ll certainly provide more details on that as they become available. In the meantime I\u2019ll begin gearing up the promotional apparatus. That will include book excerpts, interesting material that didn\u2019t find its way into the finished book, and relevant images. Events, interviews and the like are (I hope) going to be part of the mix, and I\u2019ll get the word out about those as things develop. I\u2019ll probably launch a website companion to the book as well.<\/p>\n

This has been one of the most enjoyable and creatively fulfilling projects I\u2019ve ever experienced, and it\u2019s really only just beginning. The story of 415 Records is a fascinating one, and \u2013 not to give away anything earth-shattering \u2013 it\u2019s something of a cautionary tale. Readers who know something of the history of the label and\/or its artists are sure to learn some new things, discover some heretofore unknown connections between people, places and events. Those new to the subject will encounter many fascinating, lively characters (as well as a few villains). And \u2013 it\u2019s my fervent wish \u2013 they\u2019ll also be spurred onward to check out or revisit some great music.<\/p>\n

More soon!<\/p>\n
