Description: It All Dies Anyway: L.A., Jabberjaw, and the End of an Era by Bryan Ray Turcotte, Michelle Carr The untold history of the seminal cultural venue Jabberjaw-the underground star of Los Angeless historic indie scene of the 1990s. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Billing itself as a "coffeehouse art gallery" when it opened in 1989, Jabberjaw quickly became not only the cornerstone of the Los Angeles post-punk scene but also a hub of the underground music scene nationwide. Bridging the gap between punk and indie, Jabberjaw was a bastion of counterculture that hosted shows for bands from the obscure (Hole, Unsane) to the legendary (Nirvana, Pearl Jam) in an environment that reflected a generation. In collaboration with the owners of the club, and with contributions from many of the musicians and artists who played and spent time there, It All Dies Anyway is a record of the venues brief but influential existence. Designed and compiled by Bryan Ray Turcotte, the book is a visual feast, layering flyers and posters onto photographs, handmade record covers, and Polaroids of the gallery to paint an engrossing portrait not only of a venue but also of a forgotten time and place in music history. Author Biography Bryan Ray Turcotte is an author, curator, designer, publisher, and musician based in Los Angeles. He is the author of the seminal and very successful books Punk is Dead: Punk is Everything, and Fucked Up and Photocopied: Instant Art of the Punk Rock Movement. Review "[This is] the story of the no-frills coffeehouse art gallery (and micro movie theatre) that serendipitously became a underground LA music venue in the 90s, closing after eight years in 1997. . . Most enlightening are the anecdotes from the musicians, artists and the community of misfits who reminisce about their experiences seeing Nirvana, Hole, Bikini Kill, The Jesus Lizard."-COOLHUNTING.COM "It All Dies Anyway feels like a cool yearbook filled with personal stories from musicians and clubgoers, unknown and known." -LOS ANGELES TIMES Review Quote "[This is] the story of the no-frills coffeehouse art gallery (and micro movie theatre) that serendipitously became a underground LA music venue in the 90s, closing after eight years in 1997. It was the antithesis to clubs at the time (and still today): all-ages, always five bucks a show, no alcohol, and rock bands performed on the tiny stage hand-built by young owners Gary Dent and Michelle Carr. Designer, author and Jabberjaw regular Bryan Ray Turcotte has preserved the venues run through a compilation photographs (youll notice one thing glaringly absent: any sign of a cellphone in the audience), illustrated flyers and posters, postcards, even reports from the local police and fire department. Most enlightening are the anecdotes from the musicians, artists and the community of misfits who reminisce about their experiences seeing Nirvana, Hole, Bikini Kill, The Jesus Lizard." -COOLHUNTING.COM Details ISBN0847839966 Author Michelle Carr Short Title IT ALL DIES ANYWAY Publisher Rizzoli International Publications Language English ISBN-10 0847839966 ISBN-13 9780847839964 Media Book Format Hardcover Imprint Rizzoli International Publications Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States DEWEY 781.66097949409049 Year 2015 Pages 272 Subtitle L.
