Publisher's Summary
Sunday Times Music Book of the Year
Rough Trade Book of the Year
Mojo Book of the Year
In 1975, Viv Albertine was obsessed with music, but it never occurred to her she could be in a band, as she couldn't play an instrument, and she'd never seen a girl play electric guitar.
A year later, she was the guitarist in the hugely influential all-girl band the Slits, who fearlessly took on the male-dominated music scene and became part of a movement that changed music.
A raw, thrilling story of life on the frontiers and a candid account of Viv's life post-punk - taking in a career in film, the pain of IVF, illness and divorce and the triumph of making music again - Clothes, Clothes, Clothes. Music, Music, Music. Boys, Boys, Boys. is a remarkable memoir.

Bravely searching for something more.
She has always been inspiring. I award her a koala stamp for this book, and a right livelihood for her life. She is brave in her search for something more.

The best audiobook I’ve ever listened to
The best audiobook I’ve listened to. Viv’s story resonated with me on so many levels, and is powerful in its inspiration. It normalised the female experience in discovering yourself as a musician - the self doubt, and also the resilience and courage to be vulnerable time and time again. Viv shares her story of recovery from illness and abuse and somehow never paints herself as a victim. Her strength is palpable and encouraged me to tap into my own strength.
This book gave me inspiration to believe in my own music, to trust in your own value and to strive for realness not perfection. All this whilst getting an incredible insight and personal stories of the early punk scene in London. Loved every second of it and was sad when it ended.

Such duplicity
On one hand desperately holding to the virtues of the punk movement, on the other a materialistic boomer obsessed with what others think, what others wear.
