Powell's Presents: Audrey Golden in Conversation With Corin Tucker, Sheri Hood & Gail O'Hara

The Raincoats were formed in London in 1977 as an experimental punk band synonymous with their indie label, Rough Trade. They went on to create what Vivien Goldman called “a new legacy of punk” and arguably became the most pioneering female band of the post-punk era while inspiring a new wave of DIY and queercore artists. Introduced by Kurt Cobain to a new generation in the 1990s, The Raincoats were invited to tour with Nirvana, and were known as the “godmothers of grunge” and "godmothers of Riot Grrrl" before eventually becoming label mates with Sonic Youth, Nirvana, Hole, Bikini K*ll, and Elastica. In the 21st-century, The Raincoats singularly inspired Bikini K*ll to reform after a 20-year hiatus. Featuring exclusive interviews and brand-new photos from the Raincoats' archives, as well as reproduced ephemera, Audrey Golden’s Shouting Out Loud (Da Capo) is the first-ever biography of this groundbreaking band and shows how this pioneering group of women paved the way for those that followed in their footsteps. Additionally, the book features original interviews with members of Sonic Youth, Hole, Bikini K*ll, Sleater-Kinney, Big Joanie, Liz Phair, and many more. Meticulously researched and sweeping in scope, Shouting Out Loud is the must-have account of a band that became the linchpin of feminist music in the 20th century. Golden will be joined in conversation by Corin Tucker, Sleater-Kinney vocalist/guitarist; Sheri Hood, former US manager for The Raincoats; and Gail O'Hara, co-founder of chickfactor.
