The Nineties: What the F--k Was That All About? Book

Running with the zeitgeist and shooting from the hip, John Robb takes us on a personal odyssey through the pop-cultural moments that shaped the nineties in Britain. Through first-hand reports, interviews with key figures (he was the first to interview Nirvana), and opinionated salvos, he relives an era that saw an ongoing war between experimentalism and nostalgia. At the heart of The Nineties is the music-Nirvana, The Stone Roses, Oasis, Blur and The Verve, Massive Attack, The Chemical Brothers, The Prodigy. New Metal. Punk Revival. Acid House, Trip Hop, Jungle, Speed Garage, and French Disco. Writing from the center of the maelstrom, Robb brings us inside stories from the prime players and takes us headlong into a world of gigs, clubs, festivals, and basements. From the fall of the Berlin Wall (yes, he was there) to the spread of the new technology, John Robb pulls the decade sharply into focus.Read More
