Punk Rock

Punk Rock: To celebrate the 45 year anniversary of Punk Rock by Virginia Boston, the first book on the scene, Beatie Wolfe put together this mix of the bands featured in her mother’s book.

As the UK punk scene exploded with raw energy and intensity, documentation was the last thought on anyone’s mind. Originally published in 1978 by Penguin, and described as “the first punk book,” Punk Rock by Virginia Boston (printed as Shockwave in the UK) is a must-have almanac, historical handbook, and visual and visceral reveal of a scene as it was bursting forth. As a London counterculture observer, writer Virginia Boston captured the Punk phenomenon from its beginnings in ’76, always through the eyes of the punks themselves.

Featuring all of the early first generation bands (The Sex Pistols, The Jam, The Damned, Generation X, The Slits, X-Ray Spex, Siouxsie and the Banshees and many more) and other now iconic figures, such as Soo Catwoman and Jordan, Punk Rock offers a rare insight into the heart of the movement via its extraordinary collection of photographs, quotes, lyrics, and interviews with the leading bands and figureheads. But perhaps most striking is the space it dedicates to the fans and their zines, complete with an introduction from Sniffin’ Glue editor Danny Baker. By doing so Punk Rock captures what was really going on in the clubs, away from the usual music weeklies and academics.

A scrapbook compendium of one of the shortest-lived yet most influential moments in music history, Punk Rock is an authentic time-capsule of the emergence of a counterculture that would forever change the world, but didn’t know it.

Audience w/ V. Vale hosted by Beatie Wolfe & Aaron Rose

An audience with Counterculture Godfather & Punk Publisher V. Vale hosted by Beatie Wolfe and Aaron Rose on Sunday April 16th at The Aster, Los Angeles.

Listen to this OJ special x LA event celebrating the life and work of one of this world’s true originals: RE/Search founder V. Vale – described as the first (and last!) punk publisher! After launching San Francisco’s first punk zine Search & Destroy in 1977 with $100 each from Allen Ginsberg and Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Vale founded RE/Search in 1980 for his other cultural-anthropological explorations including Industrial music, the writings of J.G. Ballard and William S. Burroughs, feminism, “Incredibly Strange” filmmaking and so much more. A cornerstone of the counterculture movement, Vale’s influence remains both all-pervasive and yet hidden in plain sight.

This event includes a conversation between Vale, Aaron Rose and Beatie Wolfe; a live DJ set from Money Mark on tape cassettes; a reading of Vale’s cat haikus and “Goals for Life” and a live performance from Vale and Marian.
