THAT DELICIOUS VICE, KID CONGO POWERS
When a devastating personal tragedy crushed his teenage dreams, Kid Congo Powers found solace in fandom, founding the West Coast Ramones fan club. A chance encounter with another Chicano punk misfit—Jeffrey Lee Pierce, frontman of Blondie—in line at the Whiskey-A-Go-Go for a Pere Ubu concert changed the course of his life. Pierce proposed forming a band. Thus, The Gun Club was born, and what seemed an unlikely transition from fan to artist began. In Pierce, he found brotherhood, a creative voice, and a shared cause of self-destruction that would last for years. Extravagant, funny, and poignant, with a perfect evocation of time and place, the book is a memoir of personal transformation, addiction and recovery, friendship and belonging, set against the backdrop of the relentless creativity and excess of the underground music scenes of the 1970s and 80s.
