A kid from the neighborhood
Bobby Gillespie
Contra Editorial | 2022
We open the autobiography of Bobby Gillespie, this fundamental character in the history of British rock of the nineties, and we meet a boy who grew up playing among abandoned factories and ghostly streets in the Springburn neighborhood, in his native Glasgow. A neighborhood kid who, in his adolescence, spent hours rummaging through buckets of vinyl when leaving school or plotting how to go to concerts, allying himself with his childhood friend Alan McGee. (another illustrious artist who would later form the Creation Records label). A youth in which punk begins to flood his brain with the discovery of bands like the Sex Pistols or The Clash and awakens his musical concerns., managing to combine his activism in The Jesus and Mary Chain with his personal project Primal Scream. A book that comes out barely a few months after its publication in English and that focuses on a period that covers, since his first, until the publication of Screamadelica. An exciting story of an era that musically marked an entire generation..
