Thurston Moore And Byron Coley: No Wave

Sparking the musical genesis of post-punk, and also the stomping ground of young artists and filmmakers from Jean-Michel Basquiat to Jim Jarmusch, the No Wave scene in New York was enormously influential. Thurston Moore , iconic rocker and a founding member of the post-punk band Sonic Youth, and esteemed music writer and editor Byron Coley , both experienced the No Wave scene first-hand. In their new book, No Wave: Post Punk. Underground. New York. 1976–1980 (Abrams 6/08), Moore and Coley selected 150 unforgettable images and compiled hundreds of hours of personal interviews to document this avant-garde art and music movement. In this riveting presentation of music, art, and memories, Moore and Coley discuss the rarely documented No Wave period and sign copies of their book.
