Praise for The Ballad of Speedball Baby…
“A sometimes-harrowing ride poetically described in neon prose.” — Kate Pierson, the B-52’s
“Beautifully written tales of outsider rock ’n’ roll, the ups and downs, and the subterranean.” — Nick Zinner, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs
“I loved reading this book about a punk world I didn’t get to experience in New York City. I don’t think I could have survived this dark, crazy, happy place. I’m not as tough as Ali Smith.” — Exene Cervenka, X
“To me personally, no band has personified the sound of New York better than Speedball Baby since Lou Reed or Suicide.” — Larry Hardy, In the Red Records
“Reading The Ballad of Speedball Baby felt like listening to my favorite album for the first time. Revelatory, thrilling and achingly familiar.” —Miriam Shor, co-creator and star of Hedwig and the Angry Inch
"By turns hilarious and heartbreaking, The Ballad of Speedball Baby isn't just a vivid account of mid-'90s Lower East Side bohemia and an unsparing portrait of what it's really like to be in a band. It's also a ripping read." — Michael Azerrad, author of The Amplified Come as You Are: The Story of Nirvana
