Sonic Youths Kim Gordon ger ut självbiografi

Sonic Youths bassist och sångerska Kim Gordon ger ut självbiografi nästa år.

Kim Gordon blev känd som frontkvinna i det amerikanska bandet Sonic Youth. Gordon var gift med bandets frontman och gitarrist Thurston Moore fram tills skilsmässan 2011, strax därefter bestämde sig bandet för att lägga ner. Nu utannonserar Gordon sin självbiografi Girl in a Band som ges ut den 24 februari 2015. I boken får vi läsa bland annat om hennes tid i Sonic Youth och hennes uppväxt, beskrivningen lyder:

Often described as aloof, Kim Gordon truly opens up in Girl in a Band. Telling the story of her childhood, her life in art, her move to New York City, her love affairs, her marriage, her relationship with her daughter, and her band, this is a rich and beautifully written memoir. At the heart of the book is the examination of what partnership means-and what happens when it dissolves. An atmospheric look at the New York of the 80s and 90s that gave rise to Sonic Youth, as well as the Alternative revolution in popular music that Sonic Youth helped usher in,paving the way for Nirvana, Hole, Smashing Pumpkins and many other acts. One of the most revered people in modern roc and roll, Kim Gordon is also highly regarded fashion icon, visual artist and the source of much fascination. 

På senare år har Kim Gordon varit aktiv i bandet Body/Head med Bill Nace.
