Resist Phony Encores!

Is being released via Hat & Beard Press / Antennae Books on February 21st, 2021 but if you pre-order in Europe (including satellite islands) you will get it in time to present it to a confused loved one for Xmas. antennebooks.com The first 500 copies come with a 10 piece postcard set as well. Not suitable for the kids.

Apparently, Resist Phony Encores! is a selective memoir, in the form of graphics, images and mass communications, by musician Gruff Rhys.

Based on a PowerPoint presentation that he performed at the 2018 Edinburgh festival, he weaves crowd psychology and anecdotes from dealings with various audiences through designer Mark James’ xeroxed graphics and doctored photos, as well as the cue cards, which - for the last 15 years or so - Rhys has been using as part of his live performances.

Hat & Beard press is an independent publisher based on Los Angeles that produces pop culture books of historical significance across all mediums of the arts.

Ac yn ôl pob tebyg, mae RESIST PHONY ENCORES! yn ryw fath gofiant dethol, sy’n defnyddio graffeg gan y cynllunydd Mark James ynghyd a seicoleg a lluniau torfol, sy’n cynnwys nifer o’r arwyddion mae Gruff wedi bod yn eu defnyddio yn fyw ers tua 15eg mlynedd.

Mae’r llyfr - neu bamffled a bod yn garedig - yn seiliedig ar gyflwyniad PowerPoint a berfformiodd yng ngŵyl Caeredin yn 2018.

Mae Hat & Beard yn wasg sy’n arbennigo mewn llyfrau celf ac wedi eu lleoli yn Los Angeles.
