Good GIrls Don't by S.W. Lauden (Signed Book) Limited to 10 Signed Copies

In this follow up to That'll Be The Day: A Power Pop Heist, the Sharp brothers head to Los Angeles for a recording session at a legendary studio. Bullets fly when they steal a famous guitar from a Hollywood music store, crossing paths with a violent gang of rock and roll memorabilia collectors. The brothers soon find themselves racing across the country to protect their family and save their own skin.

Praise for S.W. Lauden's Power Pop Heist books:

“Loved it. Very descriptive, engaging characters, flowed ever so nicely. Plus, as a bonus, it includes references to The Toms, Shoes and Rubber City Rebels. Another slam dunk for S.W. Lauden!”—John M. Borack, Shake Some Action 2.0: A Guide to the 200 Greatest Power Pop Albums1970-2017

“Rock and roll, rare guitars, vintage vinyl and criminal mayhem—what more could a crime fiction and music lover ask for? I thoroughly enjoyed S.W. Lauden’s That’ll Be The Day and can’t wait to see what’s on the flip-side!” —Lisa Brackmann, Rock Paper Tiger and Black Swan Rising

“S.W. Lauden has pulled off something remarkable: creating the First Dysfunctional Family of Pop Music. ...It’s a rock n’ roll romp from the opening chord. Only question is, when’s the Sharps’ next heist—er, gig?”—Rex Weiner, The (Original) Adventures of Ford Fairlane: The Long Lost Rock n’ Roll Detective Stories

Premiere Issue! Lovingly created by and for the international Big Stir music community, Big Stir Magazine is a 21st Century spin on the classic Zine format, published quarterly. Not just music reviews and features (although we have those, from some of the best critics out there), it's just as much a lifestyle journal, with the prime movers from your favorite bands musing on whatever may strike them: books, food, culture, history, and of course records and live shows.

All 36 pages are packed with original illustrations and comics from the contributors, designed by the always-brilliant Champniss of London, making Big Stir Magazine a feast for the eyes as well as the mind and soul. As diverse, whimsical, and loose as the community it represents, BSM aims to be an antidote to the divisiveness that too often pervades social media, and a reminder that music, now more than ever, can and must bring people together.

Contributors to Issue 1 include Carl Cafarelli (This Is Rock & Roll Radio), Rex Broome (The Armoires) and his daughters Miranda and Ridley, Steven Wilson (Plasticsoul), Blake Jones (Blake Jones & the Trike Shop), Peter Watts (Spygenius), Patrick "Pooch" DiPuccio (The Condors, Flipside Fanzine), Sumishta Brahm (13 Frightened Girls), Christina Bulbenko (The Armoires) and her daughter Larysa, Andy Rennie (The Fast Camels), John Borack (Goldmine Magazine, Popdudes), David Bash (International Pop Overthrow Festival), Keith Klingensmith (The Legal Matters, Futureman Records), Jeff Charreaux (The Walker Brigade) and Andy Creighton (The World Record). Also included are special interviews as Big Stir Annoys the Women of Pop: Ella Pearson (Hux & the Hitmen), Karla Kane (The Corner Laughers), Lindsay Murray (Gretchen's Wheel), Ruth Rogers (Spygenius), Christina (The Armoires) and Teresa Cowles (Pacific Soul LTD and Mod Hippie among many others)!
