Exhaustively researched and packed with unique insights, this history journeys from the punk scenes roots in the mid-1960s to the arrival of new wave in the early 1980s. With a cast that includes Patti Smith, Pere Ubu, Television, Blondie, the Ramones, the MC5, the Stooges, Talking Heads, and the Dead Boys, this account is the definitive story of early American punk rock. Extraordinarily balanced, it tells the story of the musics development largely through the artists own words, while thoroughly analyzing and evaluating the music in a lucid and cogent manner. First published in 1993, this was the first book to tell the stories of these then-little-known bands; now, this edition has been updated with a new discography, including imports and bootlegs, and an afterword detailing the post-1970s history of these bands. Filled with insights from interviews with artists such as Lou Reed, Debbie Harry, David Byrne, Patti Smith, and Richard Hell, this book has long been considered...

F rom the Velvets to the Voidoids has been a long time coming. conducted my first interviews back in.1989, before I had even started on my Dylan biography, Behind the Shades , published in May 1991. Inevitably there has been a long retinue of people who have been invaluable to the project.
Id especially like to thank Roberta Bayley, Alan Betrock, Leee Black Childers, Bob Gruen, Jerry Harrison, Richard Hell, John. Helstrom, Jim Jones, Lenny Kaye, Craig Leon, Tony Maimone, John Morton, Charlotte Pressler, Bob Quine, Tommy Ramone. Joey Ramone, Allen Ravenstine, Jonathan Richman, Andy Shernoff, Pete Stampfel, Chris Stein, Tish & Snooky, Marty Thau, David Thomas, Alan Vega, Tom Verlaine, Michael Weldon, Chris Whent, and Tim Wright, who all generousty gave of their time to. tell their part of the story.
Vital contacts and personal access were facilitated by the endeavours of Mitch Black, Victor Bockris, Raymond Foye, Nicholas Hill and Barry Miles.
A book like this is only partially composed from-first-hand interviews. A considerable amount of cross-checking, searching out secondary sources, and securing access to archive recordings was required. For their help in this more mundane, but equally vital, part of my researches I extend much thanks to Nina Antonia, Bob Bettendorf, Ken Dixon, Richard Lewis, Tony Legge, Alan Licht, Doug Morgan, Chris Stigliano, Scott C. and Pat Thomas. (No thanks are due, however, to Lewis Gerendasy, who so meticulously documented the CBGBs years on audio and video but now sits in his apartment, huddling up to these private mementoes of his lost youth, secure in his self-appointed task as solitary keeper of the flame.)
Thanks also to my American friends, who shared their homes, allowing me to impose myself for days at a time, all the while acting as answering services, during my regular forays to the States. So thanks, Mike and Susie, Scott and Suzie, Rob and Lynne, and Steve K, without whom ...
Finally, thanks to those who took time to read and comment on the many drafts this book passed through: Bob Cooke, Steve Sheppard, Dan Levy, Mat Snow, Peter Vincent, Chris Charlesworth, who convinced me it was a worthwhile project, Michael Jacobs, for putting up with my neuroses about American publishers, and, above all, to my editor Tony Lacey, for his belief in the books viability and his enthusiasm for my endeavours to drag rock history out of the godforsaken sixties...
