*** SOLD OUT *** Thank you for your enthusiastic support!
On August 28th, join us at The Listyning Room for an extraordinary, ultra-exclusive evening with a true icon: author, activist, and the Philosopher King of Punk, Henry Rollins. Fresh off the massive August 21st release of Gravest Gravy—the legendary, long-lost 1977 Cramps album produced by Alex Chilton—Rollins is pulling back the curtain on a project decades in the making. In a strictly limited 50-seat setting, C4RM Board member and Loudwire Nights host Chuck Armstrong will lead an intimate fireside chat with Henry, charting the incredible journey of unearthing, de-fossilizing, and restoring these pristine primordial rock 'n' roll tapes alongside Larry Hardy, Ian MacKaye, and Poison Ivy.
This isn't just a behind-the-scenes look at music history; it’s a deep dive into a lifelong obsession. Rollins will share his unfiltered love for The Cramps, recount how seeing them live in 1979 forever altered his DNA, and explain what it was like to be part of the rescue mission for a masterpiece that almost vanished into the mists of time. Your ticket grants you entry into The Listyning Room, a space entirely dedicated to the pure musical experience and powered by a world-class, room-rocking Hi-Fi system. Don't miss this incredible chance to sit with one of modern culture's most compelling voices. It's a rare opportunity to hear history through a pristine sound system while celebrating the beautiful, dangerous roots of punk rock. Henry will be hanging after the album to talk to fellow fans and take a few quick pics, but he will not be signing anything at this event.
