Book Reviews of Live at the Masque: Nightmare in Punk Alley
Book Review: Great Time Capsule of the LA Punk Scene!
Summary: 5 Stars
I Waited for this Book!
I was at the Release Party/Concert in LA, back in November 2007. But I couldn't buy it there Or even see one! The 30th anniversary of the Masque was a Blast then & this book is a Great addition to the Memories of that Night. If you couldn't be there in the Original days, or the night of the show, this will make up for it!
Bands! Clothes! Stars! Cars! Girls! Guys!
The Best Rock scenes Form & Develop themselves, & LA was no Exception. Even though "inspired" by London & New York, LA's insular scene made for a More Original, sounding & looking bunch of Bands & Fans. This Book's images, by the Best Underground snappers & scenesters, give the Best insight to What it Must have been like to be in that Lucky group rockin' in that smelly old Basement!
I went to LA in 1978, as a 10 year old, & I distinctly remember seeing a Bunch of "weirdos" on Hollywood Blvd. I returned in 2003 & Made my Bee-line to that Back alley after Years of being under the LA scene's Musical Spell. It's just a Locked door now, but I'm at least thrilled to now have this Document of those far gone days.
I Love Brendan Mullen's insight & anecdotes of the Scene. Nothing about Cashing in on it, Just filling his Need to protect the History of a Scene, & punk world taken over by the Posers & Millionaires of the So called "Punk Rock" "scene" of today. a Great Companion to the book: We've got the Neutron Bomb!
Literally a Snapshot into just a few fleeting years in the Music History of LA.
Summary of Live at the Masque: Nightmare in Punk Alley
'The Masque' was Brendan Mullen s grimy basement club in late 70 s Los Angeles where West Coast punk first coalesced. A haven for "weirdos, nerds, borderline sociopaths and assorted misfits with attitude problems" and home to bands, as The Germs, X, The Weirdos, The Bags, The Plugz and so many more, who managed, in the two short years 'The Masque' was open, to make history.The book is filled with classic photos and ephemera by Jenny Lens, Alain Saint Croix, Michael Yamplosky, Al Flipside and many others, showcasing the influential fashion of an era with no rules. This massive volume features large scale photographs throughout, many of which have never been seen before.
Live at the Masque Nightmare in Punk Alley is an impressive document of the most notorious punk scene ever. Text by Brendan Mullen and Kristine McKenna.
