Throngs of punks, including members of the Dead Kennedys, Avengers, Flipper, MDC, Green Day, Rancid, NOFX, and AFI, tell their own stories in this definitive account, from the innovative art-damage of San Francisco’s Fab Mab in North Beach, to the still vibrant all-ages DIY ethos of Berkeley’s Gilman Street. Compiled by longtime Bay Area journalists Jack Boulware and Silke Tudor, <I>Gimme Something Better</I> chronicles more than two decades of punk music, progressive politics, social consciousness, and divine decadence, told by the people who made it happen. 6834509 29 9 2009 Gimme Something Better: The Profound, Progressive, and Occasionally Pointless History of Bay Area Punk from Dead Kennedys to Green Day total:13|5:3|4:7|3:3|2:0|1:0| 13 52 50 9 3 0 true true Tue Nov 10 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 18 20:08:25 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 18 20:38:33 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Oct 15 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 11 09:16:20 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 15 08:26:38 -0700 2009
