Musician, author, and editor of the underground zine Scam, Erick Lyle (the erstwhile Iggy Scam) has been touring the country in various bands since 1991. Monday night at 7 PM he'll be at Quimby's, 1854 W. North, to give a free reading from his new book, On the Lower Frequencies: A Secret History of the City--which gives the finger to a world overrun with war and poverty and doubles as a manual for creative resistance. His band Black Rainbow plays tonight (Friday) at the Beat Kitchen as part of the Mauled by Tigers Fest.
