In photos and stories direct from Stein, brilliant writer of hits like "Rapture" and "Heart of Glass," this book provides a fascinating snapshot of the period before and during Blondie's huge rise, by someone who was part of and who helped to shape the early punk music scene--at CBGB, Andy Warhol's Factory, and early Bowery.

Additional Product Features Blondie Edition. Though the photographs in the book span and the Advent of Punk band''s four decades, they''re rooted mostly in Chris Stein / Negative: Me punk scene that emerged in the ''70s and ''80s, paralleling Blondie''s rise. Looking at them, it''s easy to imagine how much fun the duo had not just making pictures, but also making music. The pictures The book contains scores of photos, many of them never before published, of Blondie, the Ramones, the Talking Heads and other pioneers of the s New York City rock scene. That aesthetic comes through in Stein''s unfussy, mostly black-and-white images, which capture Harry, David Bowie, Joan Jett and other musicians in spontaneous, revealing moments. Blondie''s Chris Stein was there for all of it: his guitar in one hand, his camera in the other. And as a member of one of the leading groups on the scene and a recent photography graduate of New York''s School of Visual Arts, Stein was uniquely positioned to document the musical pioneers of that time and place. Chris Stein, has released a new photography book remembering its glory days. Though Stein claims to have thousands of photographs in his archives, the way he describes his photographic process is surprisingly casual. In case there was any doubt, that''s how beloved they still are years into Chris Stein / Negative: Me career. Chris Stein / Negative: Me, among others.

  • "Rip Her to Shreds": Women's Musk According to a Butch-Femme Aesthetic
    "Rip Her to Shreds": Women's Musk According to a Butch-Femme Aesthetic Judith A, Peraino "Rip Her to Shreds" is the tide of a song recorded in 1977 by the rock group Blondie; a song in which the female singer cat­ tily criticizes another woman. It begins with the female "speak­ er" addressing other members of her clique by calling attention to a woman who obviously stands outside the group. The lis­ tener likewise becomes a member of the clique, forced to par­ ticipate tacitly in the act of criticism. Every stanza of merciless defamation is articulated by a group of voices who shout a cho­ rus of agreement, enticing the listener to join the fray. (spoken! Hey, psf pst, here she comes !lOW. Ah, you know her, would YOIl look ollhlll hair, Yah, YOIl know her, check out Ihose shoes, A version of this paper was read at the conference "Feminist Theory and Music: Toward a Common Language," Minneapolis, MN, June 1991. If) 20 Peraino Rip Her to Shreds She looked like she stepped out in the middle of somebody's cruise. She looks like the Su nday comics, She thinks she's Brenda Starr, Her nose·job is real atomic, All she needs is an old knife scar. CHORUS: (group) 00, she's so dull, (solo) come on rip her to shreds, (group) She's so dull, (solo) come on rip her to shreds.! In contrast to the backstabbing female which the Blondie song presents, so-called "women's music" emphasizes solidarity and affection between women, and reserves its critical barbs for men and patriarchal society.

  • The Heebie-Jeebies at CBGB's Explores the Intersection of Jewish
    For Release: October 2006 Contact: Sara Hoerdeman Publicity Manager Independent Publishers Group (312) 337-0747 ext. 236 [email protected] **digital cover image available** The Heebie-Jeebies at CBGB’s explores the intersection of Jewish identity and punk rock **Jewish-owned punk landmark, CBGB, will close on October 1, 2006** CHICAGO: On October 1, 2006, CBGB will shut its doors for good. The little Lower East Side Jewish-owned club became the center of the New York City punk scene, and on the eve of its closing, a new book examines its role, and that of Jews in the punk movement. The Heebie-Jeebies at CBGB’s: A Secret History of Jewish Punk (Chicago Review Press, October 2006) by Steven Lee Beeber delves into punk’s beginnings in New York City and discovers it to be the most Jewish of rock movements, both in makeup and attitude. The Heebie Jeebies at CBGB’s offers a fascinating mix of biography and cultural study that explores the lives of Jewish punks and creates an in-depth historical overview of the punk scene. In the early 1970s, from in and around New York, came a rag-tag assortment of young people. They came from a wide range of backgrounds, from comfortable and conservative middle class families to poor and immigrant origins, but despite their differences, they all had something burning inside. Fueled by the humor of Lenny --more-- Bruce—and more strongly influenced by their Jewish heritage than even they knew— they emerged, raw, ambitious and ready to rock, into the New York scene and changed music forever.

  • Rip “Her” to Shreds
    Rip “Her” To Shreds: How the Women of 1970s New York Punk Defied Gender Norms Rebecca Willa Davis Senior Thesis in American Studies Barnard College, Columbia University Thesis Advisor: Karine Walther April 18, 2007 Contents Introduction 2 Chapter One Patti Smith: Jesus Died For Somebody’s Sins But Not Mine 11 Chapter Two Deborah Harry: I Wanna Be a Platinum Blonde 21 Chapter Three Tina Weymouth: Seen and Not Seen 32 Conclusion 44 Bibliography 48 1 Introduction Nestled between the height of the second wave of feminism and the impending takeover of government by conservatives in 1980 stood a stretch of time in which Americans grappled with new choices and old stereotypes. It was here, in the mid-to-late 1970s, that punk was born. 1 Starting in New York—a city on the verge of bankruptcy—and spreading to Los Angeles and London, women took to the stage, picking punk as their Trojan Horse for entry into the boy bastion of rock’n’roll. 2 It wasn’t just the music that these women were looking to change, but also traditionally held notions of gender as well. This thesis focuses on Patti Smith, Deborah Harry, and Tina Weymouth—arguably the first, and most important, female punk musicians—to demonstrate that women in punk used multiple methods to question, re-interpret, and reject gender. On the surface, punk appeared just as sexist as any other previous rock movement; men still controlled the stage, the sound room, the music journals and the record labels. As writer Carola Dibbell admitted in 1995, “I still have trouble figuring out how women ever won their place in this noise-loving, boy-loving, love-fearing, body-hating music, which at first glance looked like one more case where rock’s little problem, women, would be neutralized by male androgyny.” According to Dibbell, “Punk was the music of the obnoxious, permanently adolescent white boy—skinny, zitty, ugly, loud, stupid, fucked up.”3 Punk music was loud and aggressive, spawning the violent, almost exclusively-male mosh pit at live shows that still exists today.

  • Artist-Provided Bios Festival
    ARTIST-PROVIDED BIOS FESTIVAL HEADLINERS: ​ The Motet – Friday Aug. 10 at 8:30 p.m. on Mountain Avenue Stage Music and escapism go hand-in-hand, and a concert or an album can unlock another world, if you let it. The Motet respect and revere this time-honored phenomenon. Fusing fiery funk, simmering soul and improvisational inventiveness, the Denver, CO seven-piece—Lyle Divinsky [vocals], Dave Watts [drums], Joey Porter [keyboards], Garrett Sayers [bass], Ryan Jalbert [guitar], Parris Fleming [trumpet] and Drew Sayers [saxophone]—have continually provided an escape for listeners over the course of seven full-length albums since 1998, including their latest release, “Totem.” That extends to countless sold-out shows and festivals everywhere from Bonnaroo, Electric Forest, and Summer Camp to All Good Music Festival and High Sierra Music Festival as well as 16 consecutive years of themed Halloween concerts. After quietly building a diehard and devoted following, 2016 represented a watershed year for the musicians. They welcomed Lyle and Drew into the fold and released Totem, which drew acclaim from Relix, AXS, 303 Magazine and many others. For the first time, The Motet sold out the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheater—the holy grail venue of their hometown—cataloged on “Live at Red Rocks.” Sell-outs followed everywhere from The Fillmore (San Francisco) and Tipitina’s (New Orleans) to Brooklyn Bowl (Brooklyn), Park West (Chicago) and Crystal Ballroom (Portland). The group locked into an unbreakable groove. Following Jam Cruise and a second Red Rocks gig, the band fired up the new single “Supernova.” Strutting between hypnotic horns and swaggering guitars, the track sees The Motet blast off to another galaxy.
