This book is dedicated to the history of the band Massive Attack
and to their relationship with their home town of Bristol, a city
built on the wealth generated by the slave trade. As a port Bristol
was also an arrival point for immigrants to the UK, most notably
the Windrush generation from the Caribbean in the 1950s. Author
Melissa Chemam's in-depth study of the influences that led to the
formation of the Wild Bunch and then Massive Attack looks into
Bristol's past to explore how the city helped shape one of the most
successful and innovative musical movements of the last 30 years.
Based on interviews with Robert (3D) del Naja and others, the book
examines the inner tensions between the founding members of Massive
Attack - 3D, Daddy G and Mushroom - their influences,
collaborations and politics and the way in which they opened the
door for other Bristol musicians and artists including Banksy.
