Description

Punk Avenue: The New York City Underground 1972-1982 is a vivid account of Phil Marcade's first decade in the United States, spanning from Boston to the West Coast and back again, before settling in New York City and becoming immersed in the early punk rock scene.

With a keen eye for detail and a witty, engaging prose, Marcade recounts his experiences, including encounters with notable figures, such as photographer Nan Goldin and actor-writer Cookie Mueller, as well as his involvement in the punk scene, including working with Debbie Harry on French lyrics and playing drums with Johnny Thunders' band Gang War.

This memoir offers a unique glimpse into the era, with Marcade sharing stories of his time spent in the underground clubs, hotels, and venues that defined the punk rock scene, including Max's, CBGB's, and the Tropicana Hotel in Los Angeles.
