SATIN JACKET BLUES BY ALAN SAVAGE
Recommended Read. Music. Punk. Post Punk. Teesside. Alan Savage.
If you were ever in a band or knew someone in a band who almost but not quite made it big, you must read this. Alan Savage was the singer, guitarist and main songwriter in New Wave indie band Basczax (pron: Bassax) and his autobiography is a poignant, funny and ultimately, life-affirming story of his obsession with music and growing up in the 70s, a personal journey that moves from Glam to Punk and beyond.
Even if you weren’t born in that decade, Alan Savage makes you feel that you could have been there. His vivid command of language brings the sights, sounds and smells of the 70s right into the present. Th roar of the greasepaint, the smell of the crowd.
