Further adventures in a post punk wonderland from the author of the acclaimed memoir <strong><em>69
Exhibition Road</em></strong>.

In this new volume focussing on the 1980s, <strong>Dorothy Max Prior</strong> recalls her life as it becomes ever more surreal and bemusing: days drumming and touring with infamous experimental pansexual psychedelic rock group <strong>Psychic TV</strong>; exploring London and New York City’s queer clubbing undergrounds;  weaving through the tangled worlds of the UK’s indie music scene at the height of its influence. Not to mention ballroom dancing, birthing babies, breastfeeding, and moving to Brighton to become a performance artist.

Wise, wry, and endlessly charming, this is a sparkling account of bold, adventurous creativity featuring cameos from <strong>Björk</strong>, <strong>Derek Jarman</strong>, <strong>Madonna</strong>, <strong>Ray Harryhausen</strong> and a host  of others.

Praise for<em> 69 Exhibition Rd</em>:

<em>One of the best, and most surprising, memoirs from that period. I absolutely loved</em>
<em>it.</em> <strong>Dylan Jones: GQ, i-D, Arena; author of These Foolish Things</strong>

<em>A treasure trove of a life in punk and post punk. The next best thing to actually</em>
<em>being there.</em> <strong>Mark Moore, S’Express and Umami Records; Madam JoJo’s DJ</strong>

<em>Max’s adventures in a kind of wonderland are intimate, gossipy and funny, like the</em>
<em>confidences of a really cool best friend.</em> <strong>Cathi Unsworth, author of Season of The</strong>
<strong>Witch: The Book of Goth</strong>

<em>A rollicking adventure bursting with vividdetails. Max and her creatively iconoclastic</em>
<em>peers defied the stultifying conservatism of 1970s Britain and forged a technicolour</em>
<em>world of their own making.</em> <strong>Andrea Feldman, Warped Reality Magazine</strong>

<em>Max was there – from proto-punk performing and the early punk rock Sex shop scene, to drumming at the beginning of Adam and the Ants and the Monochrome Set, then on through post-punk with Rema-Rema and cyber-psychedelic-punk with Psychic TV.</em>
