Crash Bang: Pictures from a Punk 1976-1981
Crash Bang: Pictures from a Punk is a never before seen collection of photos from 1976-1982 of the punk & new wave music scenes in London, New York & LA.
In the 70’s, DB Burkeman was a 16-year-old school dropout in London. While struggling to become a professional photographer, he was simultaneously struggling with substance abuse issues. Spending all his disposable income on self-medicating, rolls of film would inevitably get thrown into a bedside drawer where they remained undeveloped for 40 years. In the 90’s, DB made his name in the U.S. rave world as DJ DB. He then became a music executive for record companies and more recently he authored three successful books with Rizzoli.
After his mother’s death, he went back to London and cleared out his old bedroom. He discovered a bag of undeveloped 35mm rolls of film, unearthing a time capsule of the explosion of punk rock captured through performances and intimate moments.
