Reviews
Praise for Under the Big Black Sun Vogue.com, 2/28/16 "A candid look at one of rock's most exciting scenes." Publishers Weekly , 4/4/16 "Doe, frontman for X, has gathered the testimonies of punk's progenitors in L.A., a scene only rivaled by those of New York and London for fecundity and influence." Q Magazine , June 2016 "An excellent dissection of the unique cultural and sexual plurality of the LA scene...Compelling reading." Library Journal , 4/15/16 "[A] fascinating collection of essays." Rolling Stone , 5/5/16 "The true story of the Los Angeles punk scene...A set of vivid personal essays...The most artist-centered look yet at a scene that helped define the future of a music whose rallying cry was 'no future.'" John Evans, co-owner of California's Diesel: A Bookstore, on NPR's All Things Considered , 7/22/16 "A great and generous memoir of L.A. punk." Booklist , 7/21/16 "An entertaining, firsthand history that should appeal to punk fans everywhere." Record Collector , May 2016 "A great read for anyone with even a passing interest in the U.S. underground of the time.", "John Doe anchors this collection of memories from those who survived the L.A. punk scene...It's like listening to a group of friends reminisce." -- Goldmine, "While X led the way, the L.A. punk scene had a distinctive voice all its own. With contributions from those who were there, this is a time capsule of music, politics and personal freedom." -- Indie 88, "A juggernaut of reminisces from an eclectic cast of Cali punk characters."-- The Observer (UK), "The Best Music Books of 2016", "John Doe and Tom DeSavia have woven together an enthralling story of the legendary West Coast scene from 1977-1982 by enlisting the voices of people who were there." -- Business Insider Australia

Synopsis
Under the Big Black Sun explores the nascent Los Angeles punk rock movement and its evolution to hardcore punk as it's never been told before. Authors John Doe and Tom DeSavia have woven together an enthralling story of the legendary West Coast scene from 1977-1982 by enlisting the voices of people who were there. The book shares chapter-length tales from the authors along with personal essays from famous (and infamous) players in the scene. Additional authors include: Exene Cervenka (X), Henry Rollins (Black Flag), Mike Watt (The Minutemen), Jane Wiedlin and Charlotte Caffey (Go-Go's), Dave Alvin (The Blasters), Chris D. (The Flesh Eaters), Robert Lopez (The Zeros, El Vez), Jack Grisham (T.S.O.L.), Teresa Covarrubias (The Brat), as well as scenesters and journalists Pleasant Gehman, Kristine McKenna, and Chris Morris. Through interstitial commentary, John Doe "narrates" this journey through the land of film noir sunshine, Hollywood back alleys, and suburban sprawl, the place where he met his artistic counterparts Exene, DJ Bonebrake, and Billy Zoom and formed X, the band that became synonymous with, and in many ways defined, L.A. punk. Focusing on punk's evolutionary years, Under the Big Black Sun shares stories of friendship and love, ambition and feuds, grandiose dreams and cultural rage, all combined with the tattered, glossy sheen of pop culture weirdness that epitomized the operations of Hollywood's underbelly. Readers will travel to the clubs that defined the scene, as well as to the street corners, empty lots, apartment complexes, and squats that served as de facto salons for the musicians, artists, and fringe players that hashed out what would become punk rock in Los Angeles. L.A. punk was born from rock 'n' roll, from country and blues and Latin music, the true next step in the evolution of rock 'n' roll music. It was born of art, culture, political, and economic frustration. It spoke of a Los Angeles that existed when regionalism still reigned in the USA. It sounded like Los Angeles. For the first time, the stories and photos from this now-fabled era are presented from those on the front lines. Stories that most have never heard about the art that was born under the big black sun.
