10.08.2009 - Stewart Los Angeles Book signing, Oct 8...
WHAT: Stewart Copeland, renowned drummer, member of The Police and celebrated composer will make his only Los Angeles public appearance to sign copies of his new book: STRANGE THINGS HAPPEN (HarperStudio, .99, October 2009)

WHEN: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8th, 2009 6:00 PM

WHERE: Amoeba Music, 6400 Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood, CA http://www.amoeba.com/ For information call: 323-245-6400

DETAILS: In 1977, the Police stormed the music scene to dominate the top of the charts and the radio airwaves worldwide with five #1 albums and a succession of top 10 hit singles. In 2007, the band reunited for the third highest grossing tour of all-time selling over 3 million tickets in 151 shows. But if you think that is the end of Stewart Copeland's story, you couldn't be more wrong. His experiences take him from raising seven children in Los Angeles to the polo grounds in England to Africa for a film shoot with Pygmies and to his studio where he scores films and pens operas. Copeland's voice is an original. His humor, sharp observations and rich use of language shows how the tall American became the third member of one of the most influential bands, and he even recounts the reunion tour and the famed dynamics between him and his bandmates. With this book you are more than a reader, you are a member of Copeland's crew and ride shotgun with the mercurial and brilliant drummer. A must for memoir buffs and Police fans alike.

This is your one chance in Los Angeles to have Stewart Copeland personally sign a copy of STRANGE THINGS HAPPEN.

Books will be sold by the independent bookstore, Vroman's (www.vromansbookstore.com). Amoeba will be accepting pre-orders for the book on amoeba.com and will have the book signed by Stewart Copeland before it ships. (To be eligible for this offer, orders must be received by noon on Oct. 8th.) If you plan to come to the LA in-store, please purchase your book at the store on the day-of the signing.

View Amoeba's exclusive interview with Stewart Copeland at his recording studio, talking about the new book (and MUCH more)! http://www.amoeba.com/live-shows/videos/stewart-copeland.html

It is February 2009, a cold, relentless wind rattles doors and windows as it wraps itself round the old house that sits atop a Tuscan hillside. Surrounded by cypress trees standing against the wintry onslaught, the house has been my home and retreat for the last decade. In the summer, its elevation gives us some respite from the sizzling temperatures in nearby Florence, but in the winter we experience the implacable wind that descends from the North down the peninsula and across the exposed Tuscan hills...

The reunion of the Police for a 2007-08 tour was strictly a nostalgia play, an enthusiastically received recycling of past hits from a group that showed little interest in recording together again. Group frontman Sting has since returned to a solo career and is making a new solo record, but his formula was just as hit-focused for his stop Sunday night at the MGM Grand Theater at Foxwoods Casino in Mashantucket, as he filled a 20-song set with a checklist of his most popular solo and Police tunes with few unexpected turns...
