Sick On You : The Disastrous Story of The Hollywood Brats
The Hollywood Brats - book by Andrew Matheson
(2016)
The
Hollywood Brats are the greatest band you've never heard of. Recording
one near-perfect punk album in 1974, they were tragically ahead of their
time. With only a guitar, a tatty copy of the Melody Maker and his
template for the perfect band, Andrew Matheson set out, in 1971, to make
musical history.
His
band, The Hollywood Brats, were pre-punk prophets - uncompromising,
ultra-thin, wild, untameable and outrageous. But thrown into the crazy
world of the 1970s London music scene, the Brats ultimately fell foul of
the crooks and heavies that ran it and an industry that just wasn't
ready for them. Directly inspiring the London SS, the Clash, Malcolm
McLaren and the Sex Pistols, The Hollywood Brats imploded too soon to
share the glory.
Punk's
answer to Withnail and I, Sick On You is a startling, funny and
brilliantly entertaining period memoir about never quite achieving
success, despite flying so close to greatness.
