'I was saying things in songs that female singers didn't really say back then. I wasn't submissive or begging him to come back, I was kicking his ass, kicking him out, kicking my own ass too. My Blondie character was an inflatable doll but with a dark, provocative, aggressive side. I was playing it up, yet I was very serious.' BRAVE, BEAUTIFUL AND BORN TO BE PUNK DEBBIE HARRY is a musician, actor, activist and the iconic face of New York City cool. As the front-woman of Blondie, she and the band forged a new sound that brought together the worlds of rock, punk, disco, reggae and hip-hop to create some of the most beloved pop songs of all time.

A unique look at the collaboration between famed rock photographer Mick Rock and Debbie Harry--one of music's greatest stars--and the band Blondie. "I've been photographed by a lot of different people since I started Blondie, but Mick is unforgettable."--Deborah Harry Blondie was the most successful rock act to emerge from New York's seminal and anarchic downtown punk scene of the mid-1970s--and the band's beautiful, multitalented lead singer, Debbie Harry, became one of the most photogenic and photographed rock performers of all time. During the same period, photographer Mick Rock lived and lensed cutting-edge culture in the city, shooting rock 'n' roll greats like David Bowie and Lou Reed. The artistic collaboration between Rock and Harry yielded iconic photos that transcended and transformed the public perception of rock 'n' roll imagery. This book--with a foreword written by Harry herself--explores in depth, both visually and verbally, the unique natural charm and charisma of Debbie's "punk Marilyn Monroe" persona in its prime, and her successful reinvention of that persona for Blondie's glorious comeback of recent years. Mick Rock provides a vivid, memorable account of his larger-than-life adventures behind the camera, revealing just what made Debbie Harry and Blondie so distinctive.
INDIEFAB Book of the Year Awards -- 2014 Finalist On the occasion of Blondie’s fortieth anniversary, Chris Stein shares his iconic and mostly unpublished photographs of Debbie Harry and the cool creatures of the ’70s and ’80s New York rock scene. While a student at the School of Visual Arts, Chris Stein photographed the downtown New York scene of the early ’70s, where he met Deborah Harry and cofounded Blondie. Their blend of punk, dance, and hip-hop spawned a totally new sound, and Stein’s photographs helped establish Harry as an international fashion and music icon. In photos and stories direct from Stein, brilliant writer of hits like "Rapture" and "Heart of Glass," this book provides a fascinating snapshot of the period before and during Blondie’s huge rise, by someone who was part of and who helped to shape the early punk music scene—at CBGB, Andy Warhol’s Factory, and early Bowery. Stars such as David Bowie, the Ramones, Joan Jett, and Iggy Pop were part of Stein’s world, as were fascinating downtown characters like Jean-Michel Basquiat, Richard Hell, Stephen Sprouse, Anya Phillips, Divine, and many others. As captured by one of its greatest artists and instigators, and designed by Shepard Fairey, this book is a must-have celebration of the new-wave and punk scene, whose influence on music and fashion is just as relevant today as it was four decades ago.

“Fellow rock stars, casual members of the public, lords and media magnates, countless thousands of people will talk of their encounters with this driven, talented, indomitable creature, a man who has plumbed the depths of depravity, yet emerged with an indisputable nobility. Each of them will share an admiration and appreciation of the contradictions and ironies of his incredible life. Even so, they are unlikely to fully comprehend both the heights and the depths of his experience, for the extremes are simply beyond the realms of most people’s understanding.” —from the Prologue The first full biography of one of rock ’n’ roll’s greatest pioneers and legendary wild men Born James Newell Osterberg Jr., Iggy Pop transcended life in Ypsilanti, Michigan, to become a member of the punk band the Stooges, thereby earning the nickname “the Godfather of Punk.” He is one of the most riveting and reckless performers in music history, with a commitment to his art that is perilously total. But his personal life was often a shambles, as he struggled with drug addiction, mental illness, and the ever-problematic question of commercial success in the music world. That he is even alive today, let alone performing with undiminished energy, is a wonder. The musical genres of punk, glam, and New Wave were all anticipated and profoundly influenced by his work. Paul Trynka, former editor of Mojo magazine, has spent much time with Iggy’s childhood friends, lovers, and fellow musicians, gaining a profound understanding of the particular artistic culture of Ann Arbor, where Iggy and the Stooges were formed in the mid to late sixties. Trynka has conducted over 250 interviews, has traveled to Michigan, New York, California, London, and Berlin, and, in the course of the last decade or so at Mojo, has spoken to dozens of musicians who count Iggy as an influence. This has allowed him to depict, via real-life stories from members of bands like New Order and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Iggy’s huge influence on the music scene of the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s, as well as to portray in unprecedented detail Iggy’s relationship with his enigmatic friend and mentor David Bowie. Trynka has also interviewed Iggy Pop himself at his home in Miami for this book. What emerges is a fascinating psychological study of a Jekyll/Hyde personality: the quietly charismatic, thoughtful, well-read Jim Osterberg hitched to the banshee creation and alter ego that is Iggy Pop. Iggy Pop: Open Up and Bleed is a truly definitive work—not just about Iggy Pop’s life and music but also about the death of the hippie dream, the influence of drugs on human creativity, the nature of comradeship, and the depredations of fame.
A new collection of unseen photographs of New York City's 1970s punk heyday, by one of the icons of the city's golden age of new wave, Blondie's Chris Stein. A new collection of unseen photographs of New York City's 1970s punk heyday, by one of the icons of the city's golden age of music, Blondie's Chris Stein. For the duration of the 1970s - from his days as a student at the School of Visual Arts through the foundation of the era-defining band Blondie and his subsequent reign as epicenter of punk's golden age - Chris Stein kept an unrivaled photographic record of the downtown New York City scene. Following in the footsteps of the successful book Negative, this spectacular new book presents a more personal and more visceral collection of Stein's photographs of the era. The images presented here take readers from self-portraits in his run-down East-Village apartment to candid photographs of pop-cultural icons of the time and evocative shots of New York City streetscapes in all their most longed-for romance and dereliction. An eclectic cast of cultural characters - from William Burroughs to Debbie Harry, Andy Warhol to Iggy Pop - appear here exactly as they were in the day, juxtaposed with children playing hopscotch on torn-down blocks, riding the graffiti-ridden subway, or cruising the burgeoning clubs of the Bowery. At once a chronicle of one music icon's life among his punk and New-Wave heroes and peers, and a love letter to the city that was the backdrop and inspiration for those scenes, Point of View transports us to another place and time.
Audaciosa, linda e nascida para o punk “De várias formas, pode-se dizer que o que eu fazia era mais desafiador. Ser uma mulher artística, assertiva e feminina, não masculina, era um ato de transgressão naquela época. Eu estava brincando com a ideia de ser uma mulher muito feminina liderando uma banda de rock masculina em um cenário extremamente machão.” Com sua inconfundível voz, Debbie Harry recria a cena downtown da Nova York da década de 1970, onde ela, junto com o Blondie, tocou ao lado de artistas como Ramones, Television, Talking Heads, Iggy Pop e David Bowie. Musicista, atriz, ativista e o icônico rosto do que há de mais cool em Nova York, Debbie Harry é a líder do Blondie, banda que forjou uma nova sonoridade ao reunir os universos do rock, do punk, da música disco, do reggae e do hip-hop para criar algumas das canções pop mais amadas de todos os tempos. Como musa, ela colaborou com alguns dos artistas mais ousados das últimas quatro décadas. A extensão do impacto de Debbie Harry em nossa cultura equipara-se apenas à relutância da artista em revelar sua admirável vida interior — até agora. Trazendo uma narrativa visceral e pungente, Face a Face subverte as biografias musicais comuns e oferece um retrato autêntico e multifacetado da artista. Com uma apresentação deslumbrante e incluindo imagens nunca antes vistas, ilustrações exclusivas e artes de fãs, Face a Face dá vida à sensibilidade artística e ao universo de Debbie Harry. Face a Face acompanha a trajetória do glorioso sucesso comercial ao vício em heroína; da quase morte do companheiro Chris Stein, de uma dolorosa falência e da dissolução do Blondie à extensa carreira como atriz, a uma incrível incursão como artista solo, ao triunfal retorno da banda e à incansável defesa do meio ambiente e dos direitos LGBTQIA+. É a história com ares de cinema de uma mulher que criou o próprio caminho e definiu o paradigma para uma geração de artistas que seguiram seus passos — um livro de memórias tão dinâmico quanto sua protagonista. Sua voz espetacular flui com uma elegância raramente ouvida na música pop, e ela permanece insuflando, no trabalho, sua primorosa sensibilidade artística. Com mais de 50 milhões de álbuns vendidos ao redor do mundo e projetos solos aclamados, Debbie também construiu uma bem-sucedida carreira como atriz, com mais de trinta papéis no cinema e na televisão (incluindo Videodrome, Hairspray e Paixão Muda). Ela se tornou, e permanece, um tesouro mundial cuja influência segue impactando os mundos da música, da moda e da arte. Debbie Harry sempre será sinônimo daquele espírito punk que vive em algum lugar dentro de todos nós.
De langverwachte autobiografie van een van de meest iconische rockchicks allertijden Hoewel Debbie Harry al meer dan veertig jaar door het leven gaat als icoon en zelfs na haar zeventigste nog hele zalen in extase brengt als frontvrouw van de Amerikaanse band Blondie, is het verhaal achter dit icoon al die tijd een mysterie gebleven. Jarenlang gaf ze geen solo-interviews, maar was ze, onder het mom van ‘Blondie is een groep’, altijd omringd door haar medebandleden die zoveel voor haar betekenen. Tot nu. In haar memoires vertelt Harry het verhaal van hoe een verlegen meisje uit een adoptiegezin in een klein stadje in New Jersey uitgroeit tot een fenomeen binnen de muziekwereld. En daarbuiten, want Debbie Harry is zoveel meer dan alleen de zangeres van Blondie. Naast haar solocarrière stond ze symbool voor veranderingen in de kunst, mode en cultuur. Een inspirerend boek waarin de stoere Harry laat zien zich toch ook kwetsbaar te kunnen opstellen.
