Description
A fascinating oral history of New York's explosive musical transformation in the early 2000s, Meet Me in the Bathroom charts the meteoric rise of iconic bands that revolutionised the cultural landscape. Drawing on over 200 original interviews, Lizzy Goodman explores the era that made Brooklyn the hipster capital of cool. From the crumbling music industry to the emergence of new voices, Goodman's account is a vibrant and insightful look at the period that saw the likes of The Strokes, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, LCD Soundsystem, Interpol, and Vampire Weekend at the forefront of the scene. Joining the ranks of influential music books like Please Kill Me, Our Band Could Be Your Life, and Can't Stop Won't Stop, Meet Me in the Bathroom is a compelling and engaging read for anyone interested in the history of rock-and-roll.
