How did a single generation of New York outsiders permanently rewrite the rules of rock and roll? Celebrate the 30th anniversary of the seminal punk oral history Please Kill Me as co-author Gillian McCain joins acclaimed music critic Will Hermes (Lou Reed: The King of New York, Love Goes to Buildings on Fire) to chart the definitive lineage of NYC’s counterculture sound. This conversation explores the raw creative current that pulsed through the city’s clubs and littered streets, creating a template for rebellion that still echoes today. Renowned music journalist Piotr Orlov, co-author of the upcoming book On the Records and publisher of the local-NYC-music newsletter Dada Strain, moderates this deep dive into New York’s musical DNA.
