About the Ebook
San Francisco Bay Area Punk/New Wave, 1978-1980 is a collection of black and white photographs I took during the explosion of the punk rock scene in the San Francisco area at the end of the 70’s. The pictures capture the raw, uninhibited energy of these fledgling young performers: Tuxedomoon, Leila and the Snakes, The Mutants, SST, Crispy Baby, Psycotic Pineapple, The Readymades, Liars, Seizure, The Sleepers, Negative Trend, Flipper, The Nuns, The Anvengers. An added attraction for fans is the series of pictures I shot of the Sex Pistols at their final concert, which took place in 1978 at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco. The book closes with a portrait of the late Dirk Dirksen, “The Pope Of Punk” who provided the local bands with a stage at the Mabuhay Gardens nightclub in North Beach.
