FREAK SCENE
Richard King
Against Editorial | 2018
As if it were an oral encyclopedia, the British Richard King breaks down 30 years of musical history, in between 1975 y 2005, in Freak scene. And it's not just any three decades., but those that saw the birth of independent music with names like Buzzcocks, Pixies, The Smiths, Oasis or New Order if we talk about groups. But also the companies that were its cradle: Rough Trade, 4AD, Factory, Creation, XL Recordings, Mute or Domino. And without forgetting the proper names behind this story: Toni Wilson, Geoff Travis or Alan McGee among many others. Because these names are only a small example; for the more than 500 pages of this book pass more than 50 protagonists to review those years of musical nonconformity. Groups and artists, labels and record contracts, successes and failures, ins and outs, anecdotes and the relationship between the protagonists, that like in a puzzle, They formed a network of pieces that fit together so that the result was the one we all know. A tribute to those music enthusiasts who embarked on the adventure of publishing albums without much business knowledge and who have ended up starring in the soundtrack of your life..
