Wake up America! Hozac Books is elated to have the 2nd volume of ready for pre-order and shipping in June! As an added bonus, we’ve got a reprint available of Volume 1 for anyone that missed it as well, now long out-of-print.

Tim Hinely of Dagger 'Zine and friends are back with another immensely entertaining volume of their acclaimed Where The Wild Gigs Were series delving into the fascinating stories behind some of the best-loved, sometimes-legendary, and not-soon-to-be-forgotten music venues across the USA. With his co-hort Eric Eggleson, they’ve assembled another knockout cast of underground luminary contributors; some new on this volume, and others returning with more war stories, and its packed with the sordid tales that keep those wild memories alive.

Chock full of original newspaper ads, obscure flyers, and vintage snapshots, this second volume turns up the heat with eye-popping and/or jaw-dropping entries for The Rat (Boston), Madame Wong’s (and Wong’s West, LA), Cathay de Grande (SF), X-Ray Cafe (Portland), The Island (Houston), The NO Bar & Grill (Muncie), Bacchanal (Philadelphia), Coney Island High (NYC), Jabberwocky (Syracuse), The Keg (DC), Churchill’s Hideaway (Miami), WC Don’s (Jackson, MS), and so many more no longer with us. Pre-order link below, shipping in June!
