Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Formed by Howard Devoto in late 1977, the band brought together some of the finest and most innovative musicians of the era in the core lineup of Devoto, John McGeoch, Barry Adamson, Dave Formula and John Doyle. Independent of prevailing popular styles, Magazine had its roots in punk but had a greater emphasis on lyrical content while combining elements of avantgarde pop, funk and rock.This book sets Magazine in the context of the postpunk music and arts scene in Manchester in the late 1970s. It discusses the prevailing climate of the decentralization of the music industry, growth of independent labels and the DIY attitude born of 'arrogance combined with a good record collection' (Tony Wilson). With unique access to band members past and present, and interviews with managers, record company executives, producers and contemporary musicians, Helen Chase presents a fascinating insight into one of the most important bands to emerge from the ashes of punk rock. Biographical details of individual band members, along with their influences, are discussed. The chronology of the band between 19771981 is charted and the dynamics and creative process at work are explored. The book also details the activities of key members since the band's demise in 1981 and follows their subsequent reunion in 2009. The band's iconic artwork is examined with contributions from artist Linder Sterling and designer Malcolm Garrett. Including lyrics by Howard Devoto and exclusive and unseen photographs taken by band members and friends, it provides a valuable source of reference about the influential group.
