Publisher's Synopsis
A nostalgic collection of portraiture and interviews featuring not only your favorite artists from the 1980s, but also artists you should know. The influence of '80s culture is undeniable, perhaps most popularly in music. So what are the musicians who built the sonic landscape of the '80s up to? Photographer Mike Hipple seeks to answer this and other burning questions with 40+ influential performers of the '80s, including Lol Tolhurst from the Cure, Cindy Wilson from the B-52s, Robyn Hitchcock, punk pioneer Alice Bag, and Kristin Hersh from Throwing Muses. Join Hipple on this fan's journey to three countries and all four corners of the US to get an intimate look at these hit makers' stories. Some are still releasing critically acclaimed records and touring, some could be the rock star that lives next door, and at least one is living a bohemian lifestyle in a 100-year-old farmhouse. Complete with a deft foreword by television personality and Esquire's L.A.-based editor-at-large Dave Holmes, this is the perfect book for fans of the eighties.
