Former Sonic Youth Star Kim Gordon Releasing Memoir

10/10/2014
. (Gibson) Kim Gordon, former bassist for legendary alt-rockers Sonic Youth, has penned a memoir chronicling "her childhood, her life in art, her move to New York City, her love affairs, her marriage, and her relationship with her daughter and her band."

A press release further describes the book, titled Girl in a Band, as an "atmospheric look at the New York of the 80s and 90s that gave rise to Sonic Youth, as well as the Alternative revolution in popular music that Sonic Youth helped usher in, paving the way for Nirvana, Hole, Smashing Pumpkins and many other acts."

Gordon's 27-year marriage to fellow Sonic Youth founder Thurston Moore disintegrated in 2011, followed quickly by the dissolution of the band. She's since formed the art-rock duo, Body/Head, and famously joined members of Nirvana for an explosive version of Nirvana's "Aneurysm" at the 2014 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
