Forbidden Planet is starting 2018 off with an event of DEMENTED proportions!

On Thursday January 11th from 6:30 to 8:30PM Forbidden Planet will be “Covered In Punk” thanks legendary weirdo radio personality Dr Demento and punk rocker/pop culture aficionado John Cafiero.

Forbidden Planet will host an in store signing in celebration of the release of “Dr Demento Covered in Punk”! Cafiero has assembled one of the most eclectic all star line ups of musical artists in the history of recording to create a two hour album presented in the style of a Dr Demento Show radio broadcast. With classic novelty songs being covered by legendary punk musicians, and infamous punk songs re-imagined in newly demented versions by some truly mind-blowing recording artists, plus an extensive booklet, and packaging illustrated by some greats from the fringe of the comics world—the Doctor is in and he’s ‘Covered in Punk’!.

Forbidden Planet has got your back as usual. You can pre-order copies from our website (www.fpnyc.com), we will get it signed for you by all attending guests on the 11th of January and then ship it to your door after the event, no matter where you live or what your excuse for not coming is, you can still own an autographed copy of Dr Demento Covered In Punk! (Even though Intercourse, Pennsylvania is only a measly 4 hour drive away and your job at Mickey D’s will be there when you return.)
