Dear Friends, Family, Fans and Voyeurs of Vivien Goldman,
Let’s celebrate the New York launch readings of Vivien’s sixth book, REVENGE OF THE SHE-PUNKS (University of Texas Press)!
She’s the pioneering girl music journalist who was first published in the mid-1970s UK music weeklies, specializing in Afro-Caribbean and women’s punk music. Now she is an Adjunct Professor at NYU’s Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music. Inbetween, she was an early 1980s post-punk musician, recording with The Flying Lizards and members of The Slits, PiL and The Raincoats. Her much-acclaimed retrospective compilation, Resolutionary (Staubgold) paved the way for the recording of her first ever album, produced by Youth of Killing Joke, due out later this year.
Please come and say hello to Vivien and hear her read, speak and even sing, at one of these imminent, very different
