Nardwuar the Human Serviette vs. Bev Davies, A 2007 Punk Rock Calendar!

The names Nardwuar the Human Serviette and Bev Davies may not be household names for my readers in the states, but the two are legendary scenesters in Vancouver.

Nardwuar is a punk rock jack of all trades. He is a concert promoter, the frontman for the legendary Canadian garage band the Evaporators and the host of a radio show on 101.9 CITR, where he interviews tons of bands.

Bev Davies, now a welfare worker with the Canadian government, was a photographer who documented the Vancouver punk scene in the late '70s and early '80s. Many of her photos became album covers.

Nardwuar and Davies have teamed up to release Nardwuar the Human Serviette vs. Bev Davies, A 2007 Punk Rock Calendar! The calendar features timeless of photos of a ton of great bands including the Clash, Ramones and a very early shot of the Go-Gos.

Each month's photo is accompanied by an in-depth interview with photographer Bev Davies by Nardwuar, and there are eight pages of bonus photos as well. As a whole, this calendar is a great document of punk history, and I'm hoping for future collaborations. A book of Davies' photography and Nardwuar's interviews would be a great idea.

I just got my copy, and it rocks. It's definitely a calendar I'll keep long after 2007 is dead and buried.
