Visual history of New York's groundbreaking No Wave scene.

Diving into "No Wave" is like unearthing a time capsule from a revolutionary period in New York’s music and art underground. For anyone intrigued by the raw, unfiltered birth of punk's avant-garde offspring, or for those looking to reexperience the era, this book’s vivid photography and candid interviews transport you right into the gritty heart of 1970s post-punk rebellion. It’s a rare peek behind the curtain where icons like Iggy Pop and Debbie Harry intersected with the era's influential, yet often unsung, heroes.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

No Wave is the first book to visually chronicle the collision of art and punk in the New York underground of 1976 to 1980. This in depth look at punk rock, new wave, experimental music, and the avant-garde art movement of the 70s and 80s focuses on the true architects of No Wave from James Chance to Lydia Lunch to Glenn Branca, as well as the luminaries that intersected the scene, such as David Byrne, Debbie Harry, Brian Eno, Iggy Pop, and Richard Hell.This rarely documented scene was the creative stomping ground of young artists and filmmakers from Jean-Michel Basquiat to Jim Jarmusch as well as the musical genesis for the post-punk explosions of Sonic Youth and is here revealed for a new generation of fans and collectors.Thurston Moore and Byron Coley have selected 150 unforgettable images, most of which have never been published previously, and compiled hundreds of hours of personal interviews to create an oral history of the movement, providing a never-seen-before exploration and celebration of No Wave.
