We’re hosting a special in-person event with Kathy Valentine on Tuesday, February 14th at 4:30 PM! Read more about Kathy Valentine Day at Grimey’s on our event page here. You can preorder a copy to pick up at our event (for Local Pickup), where Kathy will be signing books for those in attendance.

At twenty-one, Kathy Valentine was at the Whisky in Los Angeles when she met a guitarist from a fledgling band called the Go-Go's--and the band needed a bassist. The Go-Go's became the first multi-platinum-selling, all-female band to play instruments themselves, write their own songs, and have a number one album. Populated with vivid portraits of Valentine's interactions during the 1980s with musicians and actors from the Police and Rod Stewart to John Belushi and Rob Lowe, All I Ever Wanted is a deeply personal reflection on a life spent in music.
