WFMU: The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from May 8, 2019

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from May 8, 2019

Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

May 8, 2019: VIVIEN GOLDMAN interview about her new book Revenge Of The She-Punks: A Feminist Music History from Poly Styrene to Pussy Riot

Listen to this show: Pop-up listen Pop-up player!

Author/Musician/Educator Vivien Goldman, sometimes known as "The Punk Professor," joins Evan "Funk" Davies to discuss her new book Revenge Of The She-Punks (University Of Texas Press). The book, subtitled "A Feminist Music History from Poly Styrene to Pussy Riot," covers female punk musicians around the world from the mid-1970s through the present day — a subject she is acquainted with personally thanks in part to her classic 1981 tune "Launderette." Goldman will be appearing at McNally-Jackson bookstore on Prince St. this coming Sunday, May 12, at 3pm.
