Hard Art, DC 1979

Buy this book!!! Charlie Danbury (aka Ollo) was a dear, dear friend of mine. I met him in the early 2000’s, so I never got to see Trenchmouth. Ollo was one of the only people I would be happy to find in my bathtub at 5am. He was a sweet, gentle, brilliant and creative soul. Thank you for highlighting something he was so proud of! This book is a beautiful tribute to an incredible time in DC history. Thank you for letting the younger generation experience it through your photos.P.S. My first amazon review EVER-that’s how good this book is!

The documentation of the Bad Brains Hard Art shows is the Holy Trail of DC proto punk.The book was handled roughly as all AMZN books are tossed about without a care for wear on edges or bent corners.

Lucian Perkins was there with us and captured the feel of what punk was in Washington DC in those early years. Punk in DC was more than just music. Each of us was A walking work of art. Mr. Perkins has photographed us at the top of our game.The commentary with the photos is great too.

I really enjoyed the photos and the view into punk history that this book provides. A lot of books like this are floating around these days but I think this was a pretty good find.

I can not recommend this book more. Takes the reader back to an era of no digital or phone cameras so the capturing of the bands and audiences is more genuine, unfiltered, and open.

Awesome photos of a brief, magical, moment in time. The early DC punk scene was THE BEST! Sorry if you missed. There are some advantages to being an old geezer.

yep

Great book! Go out and buy!

Hatte mich hinreissen lassen, weil ich das Buch in einem Laden gesehen hatte. Allerdings war ich bisschen enttäuscht. Das Buch ist sehr klein und die Bilder nicht so stark wie ich vermute hatte. Das Cover-Bild war das stärkste und der Rest ist eher mau.
