At the launch party for her memoir in 2014, the musician Viv Albertine received news that her mother was dying, and spent a few final hours with the woman who was, in a sense, the love of her life.
Viv Albertine Orden de los libros (cronológico)
Esta artista se mueve fluidamente entre la música, el cine y las artes visuales, su obra moldeada por una vida temprana en entornos menos acomodados y por la exposición a escenas artísticas emergentes. Aborda su oficio con un espíritu experimental, adoptando sonidos y formas poco convencionales influenciadas por la estética punk y los movimientos artísticos de su tiempo. Después de una década dirigiendo películas, ahora canaliza su energía creativa en la escultura y la interpretación de su propia música.
SUNDAY TIMES MUSIC BOOK OF THE YEAR ROUGH TRADE BOOK OF THE YEAR MOJO BOOK OF THE YEAR In 1975, Viv Albertine was obsessed with music but it never occurred to her she could be in a band as she couldn't play an instrument and she'd never seen a girl play electric guitar. A year later, she was the guitarist in the hugely influential all-girl band the Slits, who fearlessly took on the male-dominated music scene and became part of a movement that changed music. A raw, thrilling story of life on the frontiers and a candid account of Viv's life post-punk - taking in a career in film, the pain of IVF, illness and divorce and the triumph of making music again - Clothes Music Boys is a remarkable memoir.
