#137 CAMERAS DRUGS & ROCK ‘N’ ROLL

'Punk, Post Punk, New Wave: Onstage, Backstage, In Your Face, 1978 to 1991' is possibly one of the longer book titles to grace your coffee table. This is LA celeb photographer Michael Grecco's raw pictorial account of a period of music history from the late 70s to early 90s which he captured as a photojournalist in Boston and New York. He literally 'became the music,' hanging out with bands from both sides of the Atlantic photographing the underground club scene right through to larger stadia.

Today, Michael talks about the book and his experiences covering this pivotal time in music history.

Today's show is kindly supported by MPB who are the number one platform for buying, selling and trading used gear. Right now if you have kit that is collecting dust somewhere, it's time to think about putting it to good use by receiving money for it and putting that camera or lens in to the hands of someone who will use it and every time you sell, or buy or trade kit, MPB will plant a tree, it's all part of driving the circular economy. Go to mpb.com... what is lingering in your closet you no longer need?
