No Way! No Wave!

In the Books section of the New York Times today there is a great review of a new book chronicling the infamous No Wave punk scene in New York in the late 1970's

The book, No Wave: Post-Punk. Underground. New York. 1976-1980, is a visual history by Thurston Moore (of Sonic Youth) and Byron Coley and includes photographs and interviews of groups such as James Chance and the Contortions, DNA, and Teenage Jesus and the Jerks.

Looks like it should be an interesting book covering one of the most intriguing, short-lived musical movements.

Below is a live clip of James Chance and the Contortions.
