Audience w/ V. Vale hosted by Beatie Wolfe & Aaron Rose

An audience with Counterculture Godfather & Punk Publisher V. Vale hosted by Beatie Wolfe and Aaron Rose on Sunday April 16th at The Aster, Los Angeles.

Listen to this OJ special x LA event celebrating the life and work of one of this world’s true originals: RE/Search founder V. Vale – described as the first (and last!) punk publisher! After launching San Francisco’s first punk zine Search & Destroy in 1977 with $100 each from Allen Ginsberg and Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Vale founded RE/Search in 1980 for his other cultural-anthropological explorations including Industrial music, the writings of J.G. Ballard and William S. Burroughs, feminism, “Incredibly Strange” filmmaking and so much more. A cornerstone of the counterculture movement, Vale’s influence remains both all-pervasive and yet hidden in plain sight.

This event includes a conversation between Vale, Aaron Rose and Beatie Wolfe; a live DJ set from Money Mark on tape cassettes; a reading of Vale’s cat haikus and “Goals for Life” and a live performance from Vale and Marian.
