About Hey Ho Lets Go - The Story of the Ramones:
The Ramones cut an unforgettable swathe through decades of popular music. They pioneered politically charged, raw sounds with absurdist flair, igniting crowds with ferocious 20-minute sets that helped shape the punk movement with their authentic anti-establishment voice.
Everett True’s absorbing biography of punk’s renegade first family traces the band’s origins, from the leafy suburbs of New York to their infamous shows in the gritty basement of CBGB’s. Drawing on insightful interviews with the Ramones themselves and those who were there to craft a vivid portrait of the 1970s New York scene– this essential book highlights the Ramones’ pivotal role in directing the trajectory of alternative music for years to come.
About Nirvana - The True Story:
Everett True is responsible for bringing Nirvana, Hole, Pavement, Soundgarden and a host of other bands to public attention. He introduced Kurt to Courtney, performed on stage with Nirvana on numerous occasions and famously pushed Kurt onto the stage of the Reading Festival in 1992 in a wheelchair.
This is the true story written by the only journalist allowed into the Cobain house immediately after Kurt's death. True reveals the details of what the legendary band was really like, what happened to Cobain in Olympia and Seattle, how Kurt first met Courtney, and gives the lowdown on the scenes, the seminars, the live dates, the friends and the drug dealers surrounding the grunge explosion.
Nirvana continues to exert an enormous power on popular music as new generations discover the poignancy in their music.
