About this audiobook
In 1975, Viv Albertine was obsessed with music, but it never occurred to her she could be in a band, as she couldn't play an instrument, and she'd never seen a girl play electric guitar.
A year later, she was the guitarist in the hugely influential all-girl band the Slits, who fearlessly took on the male-dominated music scene and became part of a movement that changed music.
A raw, thrilling story of life on the frontiers and a candid account of Viv's life post-punk — taking in a career in film, the pain of IVF, illness and divorce and the triumph of making music again — Clothes, Clothes, Clothes. Music, Music, Music. Boys, Boys, Boys. is a remarkable memoir.
Viv Albertine

Ropa música chicos fue seleccionado como uno de los libros de 2014 por The Sunday Times, The Guardian, LA Times, Mojo, NME y Rough Trade.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I LOVED Jasmine Blackborow’s narration. It really brought the book to life: I felt like Viv was sitting next to me telling me her story. The book is also beautifully written. Honest and raw. It’s very inspiring seeing her evolution as an artist and a woman.
