Biography & Autobiography. Performing Arts. Nonfiction. HTML: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Kim Gordon, founding member of Sonic Youth, fashion icon, and role model for a generation of women, now tells her story�??a memoir of life as an artist, of music, marriage, motherhood, independence, and as one of the first women of rock and roll, written with the lyricism and haunting beauty of Patti Smith's Just Kids. Often described as aloof, Kim Gordon opens up as never before in Girl in a Band. Telling the story of her family, growing up in California in the '60s and '70s, her life in visual art, her move to New York City, the men in her life, her marriage, her relationship with her daughter, her music, and her band, Girl in a Band is a rich and beautifully written memoir.

The band helped build a vocabulary of music�??paving the way for Nirvana, Hole, Smashing Pumpkins and many other acts. But at its core, Girl in a Band examines the route from girl to woman in uncharted territory, music, art career, what partnership means�??and what happens when that identity dissolves. Evocative and edgy, filled with the sights and sounds of a changing world and a transformative life, Girl in a Band is the fascinating chronicle of a remarkable journey and an extraordinary art… (meer)

Title says it all. The modest lead singer for the 90’s band Sonic Youth has written a doggedly down-to-earth narrative of how she fell in with the stereotypical art school crowd (like The Beatles, as she reminds us) and met husband-to-be and guitarist Thurston Moore in the East Village. Sonic Youth was the peer of New Wave, No Wave, Punk, and Grunge bands - true intersectionality with the white music world. Much of her story is taken up with her marriage and its unraveling. It’s a mildly entertaining autobiography or maybe more, depending on if you loved the band. (

Autobiography that starts with the break-up of both her marriage and the band she was an integral part of for 30 years before retreating to events of her childhood and growing up and on to the rest of the story of her life. Plenty of name-dropping with collaborations both in her artwork and her music but the narrative is fairly devoid of emotion. I think I was just hoping for a little more. (

An interesting book, well written and felt very personal, but it also felt like a book that was written as therapy for the author. (
