SUMMARY:Denver - Tattered Cover Book Store
DESCRIPTION:Daniel Rachel Live at Colfax\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nTattered Cover is excited to welcome Daniel Rachel to our Colfax location on August 30th\, 2024 at 6PM. \nHe will be presenting his new book\, Too Much Too Young\, the 2 Tone Records Story: Rude Boys\, Racism\, and the Soundtrack of a Generation !  \nTold in three parts\, Too Much Too Young is the definitive story of a label that for a brief\, bright burning moment shaped British\, American\, and world culture. \n  \nRegistration includes a signed copy of the book and an opportunity to meet the author. \n\nRegister for this event below! \nIf you are unable to attend the event after purchasing a ticket\, you are required to pick up your copy of the book (with proof of purchase from your event registration) within 30 days after the event date. If the book is not picked up by that date\, you relinquish your copy to Tattered Cover Book Store. \n\nABOUT THE BOOK \n\nIn 1979\, 2 Tone Records exploded into the consciousness of music lovers in Britain\, the US\, and beyond\, as albums by the Specials\, the Selecter\, Madness\, the English Beat\, and the Bodysnatchers burst onto the charts and a youth movement was born. 2 Tone was Black and white: a multiracial force of British and Caribbean musicians singing about social issues\, racism\, class\, and gender struggles. It spoke of injustices in society and fought against rightwing extremism. It was exuberant and eclectic: white youths learning to dance to the infectious rhythm of ska and reggae\, crossed with a punk attitude\, to create an original hybrid. \nThe idea of 2 Tone was born in Coventry\, England\, and masterminded by a middle-class art student\, Jerry Dammers\, who envisioned an English Motown. Dammers signed a slew of successful artists\, and a number of successive hits propelled 2 Tone onto Top of the Pops and into the hearts and minds of a generation. However\, infighting among the bands and the pressures of running a label caused 2 Tone to bow to the inevitable weight of expectation and recrimination. Over the following years\, Dammers built the label back up again\, entering a new phase full of fresh signings and a beautiful end-piece finale in the activist hit song “(Free) Nelson Mandela.” \n\nABOUT THE AUTHOR \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDaniel Rachel is a Birmingham-born\, best-selling author whose previous works include: Isle of Noises: Conversations with Great British Songwriters; Walls Come Tumbling Down: The Music and Politics of Rock Against Racism\, 2 Tone\, and Red Wedge; Don’t Look Back in Anger: The Rise and Fall of Cool Britannia; The Lost Album of the Beatles: What If the Beatles Hadn’t Split Up?; One for the Road: The Life & Lyrics of Simon Fowler & Ocean Colour Scene; and Oasis: Knebworth: Two Nights That Will Live Forever. He is also coauthor of Ranking Roger’s autobiography\, I Just Can’t Stop It: My Life in the Beat. In 2021\, Rachel was a guest curator of the “2 Tone Lives & Legacies” exhibition as part of Coventry Cultural City 2021\, and he curated the anniversary edition of the Selecter’s debut album\, Too Much Pressure. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent date:\n\nFriday\, August 30\, 2024 – 6:00pm\n\n\n\nEvent Location:\n\nLocation: Colfax Avenue\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE MODERATOR \nTom Murphy is a music writer and musician whose work has appeared in publications such as Westword\, Dagger Zine\, Birdy\, Denver and his own site Queen City Sounds and Art.
