SUMMARY:I FEEL FAMOUS: PUNK ROCK DIARIES 1977 - 1981 ANGLEA JAEGER
DESCRIPTION:I Feel Famous: Punk Diaries 1977-1981 is a girl’s coming of age story set to the pulse of punk rock. In conversation with GINA BIRCH\, Angela Jaeger’s Punk Rock Diaries take us from Walthamstow’s MOTHER’S RUIN to the punk rock and no-wave clubs of NYC’s Lower East Side I FEEL FAMOUS tracks 17-year-old Angela Jaeger’s exciting discovery of punk music and its accompanying lifestyle in 1977.A music enthusiast living in New York’s East Village\, Angela’s story unfolds chronologically\, charting her late adolescence in tandem with her transition from observer of the nascent punk scene to eager participant.Gradually becoming a nightly fixture of her neighborhood’s vibrant underground rock milieu at CBGB and Max’s Kansas City\, by 1978 she had continued to fulfill her punk fantasy abroad. She followed the Clash on a tour across England\, finally returning home in 1979 to start her own band.\n\nAngela encountered an impressive cast of characters on her adventures\, including Lydia Lunch\, Joe Strummer\, Billy Idol\, Klaus Nomi\, and Sid Vicious.Laced with humor and wide-eyed curiosity\, Angela’s daily first-hand accounts take the reader on a personal journey not found in other punk histories. Additional commentary by the author provides context and further anecdotal material.The text is illustrated with the visual expressions of Angela’s enthusiasm—her drawings of punk personalities and fans\, previously unseen photos and ephemera culled from her personal archive—affording a unique insight into the relationship between the music\, the media\, and the audience.The diaries touch on a variety of themes including identity politics\, downtown NY\, anglophilia\, fandom\, fame\, and fashion. Contrasting the stark black and white of 1970s New York with the exuberant beat-up color of a decaying London and its disenchanted youth\, a lost era is brought back to life through a dedicated fan’s own reportage. Creative\, funny and endlessly cool\, the result is an unprecedented perspective into an ever-popular moment in contemporary cultural history.\n\nAngela will be in conversation with GINA BIRCH founder of THE RAINCOATS and will sign copies of her book.
