The Books escape from the library!

You usually read books and occasionally get to listen to them on tapes as you travel across the country on those wonderful family vacations; however, it’s not very often that you get to see one of your favorite books play a cello and an acoustic guitar all while plugging away at archaic tape recordings about Venice and motherless children. And did we mention they have a pet jar of mayonnaise?

Luckily the time has come when The Books will spread their pages once more for us here in LA at the all too appropriate arena (no, its not the public library) – The J. Paul Getty Museum. And if thats not enough The Books will be back in April to play at the Knitting Factory. Hopefully the girl that made Mia Doi Todd cry at their last show won't be there.

Pencil it in; it’s going to be a good one.
