Viv Albertine (The Slits)

Viv Albertine is one of a handful of original punks who changed music, and the discourse around it, forever. In her memoir Clothes Clothes Clothes Music Music Music Boys Boys Boys a story hitherto dominated by male voices is recast through the eyes of one of the most glamorous, uncompromising and iconic figures of the time. From Madonna to Lady Gaga, Viv Albertine has influenced a range of exceptional artists. Here, before and beyond the break-up of The Slits in 1982, is the full story of a life lived unscripted, with foolishness, bravery and great emotional honesty.
