An explosive docu-biography of New York's most subversive punk band Suicide who along with the New York Dolls, the Ramones, Blondie, Television and Talking Heads defined the US punk scene centered around Max's Kansas City and CBGB's. Suicide came to prominence in the UK as special guests of The Clash on their first British tour. Their synthesizer-based, energy laden performance was not well received: they were bottled off every night, Vega often sustaining serious injuries. THe book features new interview material with many of the leading lights of the New York punk scene, including Alan Vega and Martin Rev from the band, as well as Debbie Harry and Chrsi Stein from Blondie, Moby, Henry Rollins, Marc Almond, Bobby Gillespie (Primal Scream), Jim Reid (Jesus & Mary Chain), Lydia Lunch, Jane Country amongst others. A high quality, illustrated hardback with over 100 photos and memorabilia from Vega and Rev's own archives, Nobakht's penetrating biography graphically recreates the world of '70s New York City. Published to co-incide with a Suicide best-of CD and DVD boxed set. «
