On August 27 Rough Trade East in London’s Brick Lane will be hosting the launch party of Rob Chapman’s new book Psychedelia and Other Colours. Chapman’s previous endeavours include Syd Barrett: A Very Irregular Head, and the focus of his new book revolves around the cultural impact of and history surrounding LSD.
The event at Rough Trade East kicks off with a DJ set from Justin Robertson, followed by a conversation between Chapman and legendary producer and DJ Andrew Weatherall, which will run from 7-7.45PM. After the talk will be a live set from psychedelic pop group Magnetic Mind, followed by more music from Robertson.
The book is published by Faber & Faber and is due to hit the shelves on September 3. If you pre-order a copy of Psychedelia and Other Colours you can secure two wristbands for the event now. If you buy a copy at the launch you’ll get your wristbands at the same time. Books can be pre-ordered here.
