"Gimme Something Better" brings this outrageous and influential punk scene to life, from the notorious final performance of the Sex Pistols to Jello Biafra's bid for mayor, the rise of Maximum RocknRoll magazine, and the East Bay pop-punk that sold millions around the globe. Throngs of punks, including members of the Dead Kennedys, Avengers, Flipper, MDC, Green Day, Rancid, NOFX and AFI, tell their own stories in this definitive account, from the innovative art-damage of San Francisco's Fab Mab in North Beach, to the still vibrant all-ages DIY ethos of Berkeley's Gilman Street. Compiled by long-time Bay Area journalist Jack Boulware and Silka Tudor, "Gimme Something Better" chronicles more than two decades of punk music, progressive politics, social consciousness and divine decadence, told by the people who made it happen.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 214mmItem Length: 140mmItem Width: 28mmItem Weight: 465gAuthor: Silke Tudor, Jack BoulwareGenre: Music Dance & TheatreType: MusicRelease Year: 2009 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
