Ugly Things Magazine (with one of our chapters) is now out!

Hello All-

The new issue of Ugly Things Magazine, which excerpts a chapter from my new book on the NC Rock & Roll scene of the 1960s, is now out. This is the legendary mag's 30th anniversary issue, so it's a thrill to be involved with it. 

I should note that the article does incorrectly list the book's website. It actually is-

therewasatimebook.blogspot.com

which you already knew, if you're reading this. In the meantime, check out our site, or check out the Ugly Things website at-

www.ugly-things.com.

Copies of the NC 60s book will be available next week, if you live in Charlotte. Stay tuned,

Meet The Authors!

Jacob "Jake" Berger (top left): It was Jake's idea to create the book that you're reading about. Jake joined his first band in 1965, and has been a part of the Charlotte music scene for many years. Some of the bands that he's been a part of include the Mighty Diamelles, Belmont Playboys, Phil Lee's touring group, and was a key person in the formation of Charlotte's own Spongetones in 1978. It is Jake's story that ties the book together, one of youthful days, the pains of growing up, and staying true to the music. Jake now leads the Mannish Boys, and lives in Charlotte.

Daniel Coston (bottom left): Daniel is the co-writer, editor, and overall shepherd for the book, and has truly enjoyed his experience in helping to put together this book over the last three years. Daniel is an internationally recognized photographer and writer, and currently lives in Charlotte, NC. You can also check out his own blog at danielcoston.blogspot.com
