We’re fusing the worlds of music and literature on Friday night, October 9, for the launch of Opium Live, a new interview series by Opium Magazine at Bowery Electric (327 Bowery, near Joey Ramone Place). Dead Sextons will be providing some of the soundtrack to the night. We’re playing a set at 9:15.

Oh yeah, and the interviewees: novelist Anya Ulinich, author of Petropolis, and singer-songwriter Zee Avi. The show starts at 8, doors are at 7:30. Cost is $5. It should be a pretty amazing night, with a lot of talent sharing the spotlight.
