GORDON KIM GIRL IN A BAND (10TH ANNIVERSARY EDI...

*THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER* ***Updated and expanded with new material from the author and
new foreword from Rachel Kushner*** ? For many  Kim Gordon is the epitome of cool: vocalist 
bassist guitarist and founding member of Sonic Youth—one of the most successful bands to emerge
from the post-punk New York scene—despite being famously reserved. Ten years ago  Gordon
distilled that coolness into her groundbreaking memoir  Girl in a Band   speaking openly about
her life. From her childhood in the sunbaked suburbs of Southern California  growing up with a
schizophrenic sibling  to New York’s downtown art and music scene in the halcyon days of the
80s and 90s and creating Sonic Youth—a band that would go on to pave the way for acts like
Nirvana and inspire the Riot Grrrl generation. Girl in a Band is an edgy and evocative portrait
of a life in art. A decade on  Gordon’s exploration of the artists  musicians  and writers who
influenced her  and of the relationship that defined her life for so long  remains a deeply
intimate self-portrait of a woman who became an icon  and whose stature continues to evolve in
and grow. With a new foreword by Rachel Kushner and new chapter from Kim herself ruminating on
her career as a solo artist and her two 2025 Grammy nominations  her connection to touring
after nearly forty years  and the death of her brother Keller.
