Kim Gordon "Girl In A Band" - Book

Kim Gordon, founding member of Sonic Youth, fashion icon, and role model for a generation of women, now tells her story - a memoir of life as an artist, of music, marriage, motherhood, independence, and as one of the first women of rock 'n' roll, written with the lyricism and haunting beauty of Patti Smith's "Just Kids." But at its core, "Girl In A Band" examines the route from girl to woman in uncharted territory, music, art career, what partnership means - and what happens when that identity dissolves. Evocative and edgy, filled with the sights and sounds of a changing world and a transformative life, "Girl In A Band" is the fascinating chronicle of a remarkable journey and an extraordinary artist.
