Justin Pearson writes a(nother) book
Justin Pearson - GG Alien and the Mystery Meat

Justin Pearson, he of many bands (such as Deaf Club, The Locust, Satanic Planet, and running Three One G record label), has announced that his fourth book will come out at the end of the month. The new memoir is titled GG Alien and the Mystery Meat, available on Jan. 31 via Three One G / Bread and Roses Press.

Topics in the book include art, class, and sexuality -- for example, reflections on working a minimum wage job at a gay club while maintaining a non-paying job as a  musician.

For a quick sample of Pearson's writing voice, read the guest column he penned for SPB a few years ago (linked above) or check out his best of 2024 Pass The Mic contribution.
