 About the book&lt;/em&gt;:\n\n&lt;p style=&quot;padding-left: 30px\;&quot;&gt;From the mid ’60
 s to the late ’70s in the Los Angeles area\, a generation of Sansei knew
  exactly what they would be doing on weekend nights. They would be attendi
 ng a dance party at places like the Parkview Women’s Club\, the Rodger Y
 oung Auditorium\, or the Aeronautical Institute. In the beginning\, they w
 ould be listening to groups like the Ambertones\, the Blue Satins\, the Em
 eralds\, or Don Julian and the Meadowlarks. This would evolve into the for
 mation of Asian American bands such as Thee Chozen Few\, The Prophets\, Ca
 rry On\, Long Time Comin’\, and Somethin’ Else.\n\n&lt;p style=&quot;padding-l
 eft: 30px\;&quot;&gt;Harry Manaka was in one of the premier bands of the Sansei Da
 nce Party era. Chronicles of a Sansei Rocker detail his experiences as the
  keyboardist with Somethin&#x27; Else from the early days playing at places lik
 e Parkview Women&#x27;s Club and the Rodger Young Auditorium. Harry and fellow 
 musician\, David Jingu were also the owners of the popular Baby Lion Suppe
 r Club. David was tragically killed at the business in 1978.\n\n&lt;p style=&quot;

  unique insider’s view of the bands that played during this era\, how th
 ey came together\, and how they chose their names. Get a close view of the
