Description

The transformation of New York's music scene in the 2000s is a story of rebirth and rock and roll. Following the events of 9/11, a group of bands that had been honing their sound in relative obscurity suddenly became symbols of glamour for a young, web-savvy generation. This oral history charts the transformation of the scene, drawing on 200 original interviews with key figures, including musicians, artists, journalists, and others who lived through this explosive time. The book offers a fascinating portrait of a time and place that gave birth to a new era in modern rock and roll. It explores the cultural forces that shaped the scene, from the Internet to a booming real estate market that forced artists out of the Lower East Side to Williamsburg. With its unique blend of music, history, and social commentary, Meet Me in the Bathroom is a compelling read for anyone interested in the music industry and the cultural landscape of the 2000s. Through its extensive interviews and insightful analysis, the book provides a detailed and nuanced understanding of the New York rock scene in the 2000s, and the bands that helped shape it.
