La vendetta delle Punk by Vivien Goldman6/25/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() She meets artists like Jakarta’s Tika and the Dissidents, from the Indonesian scene that sprang up when Green Day played there in the Nineties. Goldman moves far outside the usual American and British punk narratives. Everybody knows Neneh Cherry for her Eighties Brit-rap bass-bombing hit “Buffalo Stance” - but did you know she started out singing for the Slits? (In one weird scene here, Goldman, Cherry and the Slits’ Ari Up sing back-up for reggae star Prince Far I.) She chases the spirit of feminist punk everywhere - even the pop charts. She ventures all over the globe, chronicling bands from Colombia to Czechoslakia to Kashimir. She goes thrift-shopping with Patti Smith and sits on the Jamaican beach with Grace Jones. Goldman gives every chapter a Spotify playlist so you can listen along as you read - which is practically impossible not to do, since her excitement is so contagious. ![]()
