Casey Spooner and Warren Fischer from the electroclash band Fischerspooner are hosting the official release for their new book today, Oct. 28th, at VFILES in SoHo. The book tittled Fischerspooner: New Truth, “visualizes the colorful beginnings of Fischerspooner with photography, costumes, ephemera, documentation of performances, props, studio portraiture and film stills. Original essays by Klaus Biesenbach, Gavin Brown, Jeffrey Deitch, Warren Fischer and Casey Spooner, provide unique and personal accounts of Fischerspooner’s historical and conceptual implications. Edited with an introduction by Meredith Mowder.“

In addition to the book they are going to be celebrating the “archival reissue” of the T-shirt “Artists Have More Fun” by Jeremiah Clansy — the shirt will be exclusively available at VFILES.

We had a peek at the book and it feels like a personal diary, it contains lots of interesting images highlighting the band’s relationship with performance art, their amazing wigs, their costumes, and all the elements and diverse references that made up their unique performances. It’s an interesting look at their process and an insight to how much Casey loves to wear sexy little underwear. He’s a fan of getting nudey — clearly aware that sex sells!

Here are some inside images from the book:
