my 2048

Patti Smith Musician, poet and writer Patti Smith is considered by some to be a punk pioneer, while others, oh, horror, its queen. At the same time, Smith has never played punk rock and she herself treats such titles with a great deal of irony - in BBC interview the author of the great Horses album stated that in the 1970s she was commonly called the "Piss Princess" (probably because of the songs "Piss Factory" and "Pissing in a River"), "the wild mustang of rock and roll" as a last resort, a "sputum keeper", but never a punk. In the book "Please Kill Me!" the paints tell how Johnny Rotten spat when he first heard songs from Patty's debut album live. Perhaps this is the key to understanding Smith's punk nature - to anger the main punk, isn't that punk? It seems that the poetess has always lived by this principle, and to the fullest. The appearance on stage or even in a noisy company of such a bright, talented and self-sufficient woman in those years was already perceived as a challenge. In addition, at the turn of the 1970s, Smith rented a room in the famous New York Chelsea hotel (the same one where Sid killed Nancy), which was a stone's throw from the epicentres of punk gatherings, CBGB's and Max Cansas City. She was friends with Richard Hell and Paul Verlaine of Television, was married to ex-MC5 guitarist Fred "Sonic" Smith, and in 2007 released a cover album of Nirvana. Need more proof that Patti Smith is a punk? Victoria Ruiz (Downtown Boys) The history of the Downtown Boys sextet from Rhode Island begins as powerfully as their desperate brass punk, played with an obvious eye for late 1970s London punks X-Ray Spex (Boys' vocalist Victoria Ruiz even outwardly strongly resembles the late Paulie Styrin ; Americans masterfully modernized the sound of the inventors of jazz-punk with desperate hardcore). In 2011, who played at the time in the What Cheer? Brigade Joey La Neve solemnly resigned from the hated hotel in his native Providence. To make it more fun to leave the workplace, Joey took the last bow to the boss of his classmates who were playing and beating drums, as well as his colleague at the reception, Victoria Ruiz. The video recording of this action collected more than five million views, and the demoniac Ruiz soon changed her work uniform to a bright dress, becoming the face and voice of the instrumental male collective at that time. The 2014 Downtown Boys mini-album of the same name attracted the attention of Rolling Stone and Vice, and a year later, the Boys' debut full-length "Full Communism" was recognized as one of the best records of the year by other major music media. Laura Jane Grace (Against Me!) Transgender Laura Jane Grace, until recently known as Tom Gable, may have for the first time been able to draw the attention of the general public to the problems of people with gender disorder. It is not easy to name another artist for whom the journey from basements to stadiums was so difficult. In 2007, immigrants from the ryot-folk-underground Against Me! celebrated their 10th anniversary with the release of their fourth album, "New Wave", which became the band's first album to be released on a large commercial label. In the song "The Ocean," vocalist Tom sang with his characteristic anguish that if he could choose, he would be born a woman. Saddy "Switchblade" Smith (GLOSS) A switch knife - a performer with this nickname can only sing in the most frostbitten hardcore group. Glancing with a squeamish glance the path traveled by her companion Laura Grace, transgender Saddy Smith and her musicians thought and decided to choose exactly the opposite model of behavior. Rather than trying to pop their anti-authoritarian message into a pop shell, the boisterous Washington hardcore players GLOSS (Girls Living Outside Society's Shit) decided not to compromise, believing that offence was the best defence. Just the title of their first and only album, Trans Day Of Revenge (2016). White pumped-up macho, which, according to Sadie, occupied the hardcore stage of her native Olympia, from such a sonic grinder did not just fly to different corners of small semi-basement clubs, in which GLOSS lost their entire short life, and did not dare to enter the hall at all - by According to eyewitnesses, the musicians tried to make sure that the “renegades” were in the forefront. Wee Sabversa (Poison Girls) Briton Francis Sokolov, aka Vee Subversa (from subversive - provocative), proved to the whole world that it is not necessary to be young and unencumbered to participate in a punk band. Feeling the spirit of the times, the mother of two formed her first and only Poison Girls team in the late 1970s when she was 44 years old. On the first album, "Hex" (1979), a resident of Brighton and Hove was played along by her 12-year-old son with peer friends, and a plump cock named Gladys sang along. The disc was opened with "The Song of an Old Whore", adjacent to the tense anti-fascist composition "Bremen Song". Kathleen Hannah (Bikini Kill) Perhaps the unconscious follower of the vocalist Poison Girls, who, together with her friends from the group Bikini Kill, invented the feminist movement of the Ryot Grrrls in the early 1990s and suggested to Kurt Cobain the name of his main hit. Kathleen Hannah, however, herself was distinguished by incredible artistry and an excellent ability to send all the uncouth dorks and other sexists so flawlessly that I still want to smash something to the songs Don't need you, White boy and Rebel girl. Carrie Brownstein (Sleater-Kinney) Formed in the mid-1990s in the same city as Bikini Kill, the guitar trio Sleater-Kinney was able to breathe new life into the ryot grrl movement, which by the end of the decade began to lose shape. The team of Carrie Brownstein, Janet Weiss and Corinne Tucker was distinguished from other similar bands by mastery of instruments and outstanding songwriting talent. The members of Sleater-Kinney playfully performed difficultly, but at the same time far from sound, parts. Their biting songs about the personal and political were in no way inferior in a presentation to male rock bands. Vocalist Carrie Brownstein sang about war and the problems of motherhood with equal passion.
