Publisher's Synopsis

Further adventures in psychedelic rock, ball room dancing, performance art, and parenting in 1980s Britain. Further adventures in a post punk wonderland from the author of the acclaimed 69 Exhibition Road. In this new volume, focusing on the 1980s, Dorothy Max Prior recalls her days as a ball room dancing tutor in South Kensington, drumming and touring with infamous experimental pan-sexual psychedelic rock group Psychic TV, exploring London and New York City's queer clubbing undergrounds, the tangled worlds of the UK's indie music scene at the height of its influence, performance art, and parenting. Wise, wry, and endlessly charming, this is a sparkling account of bold, adventurous creativity featuring cameos by Madonna, Bjork, Derek Jarman, and a host of others.
