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.

A true New York City punk rock memoir
Revisado: 01-25-24
I had never heard of this band before but a friend recommended this book and I finished the audiobook in a few days.
If you’re at all curious what it’s like to be in a punk band, this book is fantastic. Funny and harrowing stories from New York, LA, other parts of the US and a closing with an envy inspiring tour of Europe.
So many fascinating “characters” in this story and Ali offers herself as the narrator with her heart on the line for the outcome of the bands success but still not getting completely overwhelmed or lost in the insanity around her.
Highly recommend and the author does a great job as the voice actor. Oh and plenty of laugh out loud moments!
