The Loud and Raucous Rise of Queer Rock
Paperback
Publication Date: 01/07/2005
Music as a form of social activism dates back for centuries, but rarely has there been a movement as provocative, daring and exciting as homocore, the queer-oriented rock scene. Journalist David Ciminelli has been immersed in this scene since the early 90s and his book drops you right in the action as Brian Grillo leaps from the stage at the Viper Room to chase a homophobic heckler up Sunset Boulevard. It takes you backstage as Pansy Division recalls being pelted by coins when they supported Green Day. This is the fascinating story of using music as a powerful tool in gay activism.
