Encore, encore! Canadian alternative legend Melissa Auf der Maur’s book launch at the AGO sold out so quickly that we had to add a second date: join us for “Nineties Tea Time” with Melissa Auf der Maur. For this music-centric talk at delightfully grungy local music venue The Garrison, Melissa will chat in conversation with Emilie Hanskamp, Toronto music journalist and creator of the influential music discovery channel @emilietheaux.
Even the Good Girls Will Cry: A ‘90s Rock Memoir (Da Capo Press) is a quarter of a century in the making: part rock memoir, part travel diary, part psychedelic scrapbook, Even the Good Girls Will Cry is a behind-the-scenes rock ’n’ roll memoir with a soulful intimacy and mystic undertone. It is a vivid dispatch of her time with Hole and The Smashing Pumpkins, artistically capturing the bygone era of the last analog decade in all its messy, angsty glory.The encore book launch is the coda for a whole weekend of Melissa Auf der Maur at the Wavelength Music Festival + Conference, that will also include a xMAdMx Darkwave DJ set and a curated evening of performance co-presented by Basilica Hudson, her multi-disciplinary art centre and Basilica SoundScape, their annual festival.
