As an only child reeling from the demolition of her parents’ toxic marriage, the New York City underground music scene offers a young Ali a different family of misfits and talented outsiders to belong to. She becomes the bass player for edgy band Speedball Baby, a decision that will take her around the world—from onstage at the legendary CBGBs to the red-light district of Amsterdam. She’s often the only girl in a broken-down tour van, being strip-searched at the Croatian border, chased by lunatics, and navigating the seedy underbelly of a male-dominated music scene.

Raw and real! What a journey! 🤯
Revisado: 04-28-24
This book had me gripped from page one and carried me all the way through the end. Ali Smiths tumultuous journey through childhood and young womanhood in the callous world of 80’s/90’s punk era NYC to find her place among a striving punk band full of characters and the journey that follows is simply mind blowing. Extraordinarily written, you feel like you’re right there with her enduring, surviving and feeling with stage-setting flashbacks that wrap it all together with a black leather bow. This is a must read!! Hands down. Someone’s got to put this on film!!
