Keep it Together

Resumen del libro

This is the remarkable story of Londons 60s and 70s communal bands from the perspective of its most crucial exponents, who were off their heads on Methedrine. The Deviants and the Pink Fairies were bands of the people: they gate-crashed festivals and played for free on a flatbed truck on some days, while on others they would share a bill with supergroups Led Zeppelin and the Grateful Dead. The Deviants and the Pink Fairies had an important place in a scene that had been swinging but was now ugly and heavy. It is a tale of hard drugs, bad acid, street politics, VU bootlegs, Irish pubs, Hawkwind, the Pretty Things, MC5, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Motorhead, Canned Heat, and a host of influential bands and pilled-up geezers desperate for revolution or at the very least, Top Of The Pops. 50 Bx{0026}W archive photos, many previously unseen
