Celebrating 'Sunday Matinee' this Saturday (TODAY!)

There's a book release and signing this afternoon at Generation Records for "Sunday Matinee," Brooke Smith's photo book of the neighborhood's hardcore scene in the 1980s.

The event, from 5-7 p.m. at the shop, 210 Thompson St. (between West Third and Bleecker) in Greenwich Village, includes a Q&A between Smith and Drew Stone of the New York Hardcore Chronicles. 

And at 9 p.m., there's an after-party at 96 Tears, the new bar-venue dedicated to Howie Pyro at 110 Avenue A at Seventh Street (the former Tompkins Square Bar).

You can read our Q&A with Smith (seen below in the 1980s!) right here.
