Former Austinite Neal Pollack Returns to Austin to Rock Your Face Brain

This Friday at the Velvet Spade, quite possibly the greatest literary rock star on the planet returns for a one-off reunion show with his Neal Pollack Invasion. Pollack, author of the seminal piece of satirical literary journalism, the Neal Pollack Anthology of American Literature (an Austinist favorite), left our fare shores last year to move to the moral abyss that is Hollywood. But he is back this week to help celebrate the launch of Post Road magazine's latest issue. Pollack will read from his novel, his short stories, or his forthcoming memoir, Alternadad. He will then proceed to rock out with his band. Come out to support a wonderful publication and check out the band whose only album, according to one reviewer, “comes across like a Friars’ Club Roast of CBGB’s.” Heady literature and rock-and-roll. Like PB& J for your soul.
