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 Volgorde van de boeken (chronologisch)
Deze artiest beweegt zich vloeiend tussen muziek, film en beeldende kunst, haar werk gevormd door een vroeg leven in armere omstandigheden en door blootstelling aan opkomende kunstscènes. Ze benadert haar ambacht met een experimentele geest, omarmt onconventionele geluiden en vormen, beïnvloed door de punkesthetiek en de artistieke stromingen van haar tijd. Na een decennium films te hebben geregisseerd, kanaliseert ze nu haar creatieve energie in beeldhouwkunst en het uitvoeren van haar eigen muziek.
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.
