And now this young peacock is putting the debonair into Debenhams… Henry Holland thinks that, on reflection, he did not inherit his style from his father. "He told me the other day he'd be wearing his new jacket to my sister's 30th birthday party. I said, 'Which one'?' He said, 'The pink...

On 6th November 1975, one of the most infamous rock bands of all time played their first concert at St. Martin's College of Art in London. The Sex Pistols emerged from an earlier group called The Strand that the boutique owner and impresario Malcolm McLaren managed. Following a brief spell in the United States promoting the New York Dolls, McLaren returned to England with the plan to develop the punk...
As a literary project, it looks at first glance like a giggly stunt positioned in some mischief-making space midway between Monty Python and the Sex Pistols. In 2000, a quartet of cultural pranksters and gadflies from Bologna published Q, a historical novel of adventure and ideas set in the 16th century.

If you believe in the real underground of Rock 'N' Roll, then now is the time to do something about it.
