Items related to Girl in a Band
There are few artists who inspire such reverence as Kim Gordon. In Girl in a Band she tells with complete openness the story of her family, her work in the visual arts, her move to New York City, the men in her life, her marriage, her relationship with her daughter, her music and her band. It is a rich and beautifully written memoir, taking us back to the lost New York of the 1980s and '90s that gave birth to and nurtured Sonic Youth and the alternative revolution in popular music they spearheaded. But at its core, Girl in a Band is an examination of what partnership means - and what happens when it dissolves.

Review:
So much more than a rock biog, Girl In A Band is a unique record of the past 50 years of alternative culture (NME)
I've always admired Kim Gordon. She is cool, smart and dignified. Girl in a Band is a fascinating and honest memoir, full of raw emotion and insight. (Sofia Coppola, filmmaker)
her frank and bittersweet memoir. (Independent on Sunday)
Although this is often a sad book, it is also an entertaining one, with pithy character judgements and counter-culture gossip wrapped up in a series of meditations on creativity (Ben Thompson Sunday Telegraph)
