This is a Seated Event. Seating is First Come / First Served. Wednesday, November 4 Gman Author Series Presents… Since Forever Jeff Ament & Barry Ament in Conversation with Jill Hopkins at Metro $25 Adv. / $30 Door / All Ages / Doors: 6pm / Show: 7pm Copies of Since Forever will be available for purchase from our retail partner, Exile in Bookville For decades, Pearl Jam founding member and bassist Jeff Ament has photographed the people, places, and moments that inspire him. A few years ago he began working through his archive with his brother, acclaimed designer Barry Ament. Their efforts led to Since Forever, a deeply personal visual journal of creativity, friendship, and life on the road. Drawn largely from previously unreleased images, the collection offers a rare and intimate look at the formative years of Pearl Jam as they evolved from a small group of friends into one of the most influential bands of their generation. From backstage and in the studio to the countless miles between stages, Ament’s photographs capture candid moments of creativity, camaraderie, and the enduring relationships that helped sustain the band through its meteoric rise. At once a visual memoir, and a behind-the-scenes chronicle, the book reveals how relationships, travel, joy, and need contribute to the creative process. Since Forever reveals Ament’s unique perspective as both participant and observer of a defining time period in music and American culture.

Ho99o9 HO99O9 (Pronounced HORROR) is an experimental thrashcore rap, crossover punk band from New Jersey, formed in 2012. The band consists of vocalists theOGM & Eaddy. The music has been described as combining hip hop, punk rock and noise. HO99O9 was formed in New Jersey by theOGM (Jean) & Yetti999 (Eaddy). The two first performed as Ho99o9 in November of 2012 where the energy was intense & infectious resulting in the music rapidly spreading throughout the underground world in the Northeast. Since then they’ve played with bands including Japanther, Cerebral Ballzy, NinjaSonik & many more . Ho99o9’s often politically incorrect & disturbing lyrics which often cover subjects of blasphemy, necrophilia, drug use & truth to the 999 revelation have accrued them a cult of like minded followers. Ho99o9 is currently finishing up their first full length record. Band Website Facebook Instagram Twitter N8NOFACE Everyone likes to romanticize the working class. It’s easy to fool yourself into thinking you understand a perspective because you saw it in a netflix doc or read something from a best selling “culture” critic. But what if you’re on the other side of that story, focused on survival, watching the world pay attention to all the wrong things, waking up each day fighting to get to the next. What if the sci-fi dystopian future happening this very minute, is your reality, and all you have is a guitar, cheap synthesizer, old computer and a tangled rusty voice? That’s the constant starting-line embraced by N8NOFACE. Originally from Tucson, N8NOFACE made his way to LA to double down on the visual, audio and live expression naturally running through his veins. While his influences range from Suicidal Tendencies to Stones Throw compilations of minimal wave music, his sound can be uniquely classified as the past, present and future heartbeat of the real LA. A dirty melding of 80s/90s nostalgic synthpunk combined with the amalgamation of chaos heard in grimy soundcloud rap tapes. N8NOFACE screams for those left behind, presenting the hard truth of police brutality, mental health, and the untold stories of the voiceless. His 1-2 minute minimalist distorted dark synth movements challenge every listener to accept what the real world sounds like, and dares the complacent to be shocked out of their musical safety net of never-ending sameness.
