The day the map turned dayglo: Punk London In The City 1975-78

Published on January 13, 2016

This is the finalised cover of Punk London: In The City 1975-78, my map collaboration with Herb Lester Associates which will be published in a few weeks.

An A3 map with more than 100 addresses across the capital, contained within a 24pp booklet, Michael George Haddad’s design – with gritty dayglo cast and crisply unstable typography – neat, neat, neatly sidesteps the genre’s visual cliches. In the same way the text will deliver a fresh slant on the subject matter with some surprises and more than a few unexpected twists and turns.

Punk London is out in early February. Will keep you informed on availability.

Just got a copy of this. A few pedantic points:

Location 40 – Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) was indeed the venue for a COUM complement, but it was subtitled A Night Of Pure Energy, and apart from the Shane McGowan / Jane Crockford incident, was notable for Patti Smith getting up on stage and dancing. The Night Of Treason you mention was a couple of weeks later on November 5th (obviously referencing Guy Fawkes) but was held at the Royal College of Art (RCA), with Subway Sect and (appropriately) The Rockets (I still have my ticket). The reference to Chelsea / Generation X would be more appropriate for a Nashville entry, as Chelsea supported The Stranglers there on November 21, but came back on for an encore, without Gene October, and announced that they were henceforth to be known as Generation X.

Location 64 – The Nashville Room (singular) is now The Famous 3 Kings, operating as a sports bar, but it still retains the faux-jukebox style entry on North End Road. Otherwise, you should have got a proofreader in for the map locations, as this and numerous other locations on your map are incorrectly sited, incompatible with the addresses quoted (you locate the Nashville at the bottom end of North End Road when it was just outside West Kensington Tube, on the corner with Talgarth Road, ie the other end). Similarly, The Red Cow is positioned incorrectly as are Hammersmith Palais and Odeon. The Harlesden Coliseum doesn’t even get a site, while the Harlesden Roxy does. Otherwise, an enjoyable little read.
Cheers,
Pete

Dear Pete

Thank you for your points re those two locations. There is an issue with the exact location of a few of the address markers which will be addressed on reprint. You’ll appreciate that with an endeavour of this sort never having been attempted before and incorporating 111 addresses there will always be glitches, so we are glad that you enjoyed the map and thank you for your comments.
