Songdog have revealed they have started their own guerrilla book club.
The Welsh trio, led by playwright Lyndon Morgans, will leave hundreds of books in public places throughout London, with each book containing a personal recommendation written by Songdog and a message inviting the finder to read the book, keep it or pass it onto their friends. Books distributed by the band will include works by Jack Kerouac, Franz Kafka, James Joyce, D.H. Lawrence and various others.
Morgans explains: "When I first left Wales for London all I carried were eight paperbacks in a sleeping-bag. I'm nostalgic for those days and that kid with those eight great books in his bag, so it's a nod to that. Plus it really bugs me to see people read crap."
The band will also be distributing free books at their Roundhouse FreeDM Studio gig on Thursday 27th March. Songdog are to release a single from their acclaimed album 'A Wretched Sinner's Song' next month. 'Pilgrim Hill' is out on download only on 14th April.
