"On Friday May 2nd, Marc Masters who is the author of the book No Wave will be here to do a reading/discussion on the legendary No Wave scene from New York that produced the likes of Suicide, Richard Hell, Bush Tetras, DNA and many others. For those unfamilar with No Wave, it was the late 1970's anti-movement that consisted of artists, musicians and poets who took the ideas, styles and attitude of punk to another level. Based on primitivism, the No Wave scene not only produced totally original and compelling music, it also tapped into film, performance art and even fashion. People such as Jim Jarmusch and Steve Buscemi got their start from the indie films from the No Wave period."
