When Does "Groupies" (2022) Take Place?

"Groupies" is a historical fiction novel written by Sarah Priscus that released July 12th, 2022. So when is "Groupies" set? 


It takes place in the year: 

1977 AD 


We know this because very early on Faun Novak narrates, "I opened my eyes as she handed me a pristine copy of Holiday Sun's 1970 debut album." and almost immediately afterward, "Holiday Sun had grown, finding their place between Aerosmith and the Eagles on rick radio." Real-world musical band Aerosmith formed in October of 1970 AD, real-world musical band the Eagles formed in October of 1971 AD, and radio . (Holiday Sun is a musical band that only exists in the fictional world [diegesis] of "Groupies".) So we know is after 1970 AD (and not 1970 BC). 

More specifically, in between those sentences Faun tells us, "Even now, in 1977, years after we memorized their breakout hit"... so it must be 1977 AD.
