Late Century Dream: Movements in the US Indie Music Underground
looks in detail at a number of regional music scenes in the US
independent music underground through the fertile years of the
1980s and 90s, encompassing many different genres under the DIY
banner. Featuring newly commissioned essays and extended appendices
of new interview and oral material, Late Century Dream takes a
fresh, focused look at both lesser-reported aspects of familiar
movements and in cities and regions with little or no prior
discussion around their music scene. These include: the grunge
scene in the Pacific Northwest, by way of progenitors such as Green
River and Mudhoney, and other lesserknown but influential groups
such as TAD and Skinyard; the early-90s post-hardcore/early screamo
scene which sprang up around Gravity Records in San Diego,
including Heroin, Antioch Arrow and many others; the legacy of the
Butthole Surfers and the development of the punk scene in Texas
which encompassed groups such as The Dicks and Big Boys; the
unpredictable, idiosyncratic Phoenix, Arizona scene featuring such
baffling and memorable bands as Meat Puppets, Sun City Girls, JFA
and the Feederz; and the three phases of Chapel Hill music, from
the mid-80s tail end of proto-indie, through the legendary
college-rock boom encompassing bands like Superchunk and Archers of
Loaf, to late-90s iterations spearheaded by groups such as the
White Octave. Divided simply into chapters focusing on each
different region or city, the book is also illustrated with a
wealth of archival and unseen promo, live and 'zine imagery. Late
Century Dream is an exciting addition to Black Dog Publishing's
music titles, following most recently, from Black Metal and
Krautrock.
