In We're Having Much More Fun Judith A. Peraino and Tom McEnaney celebrate the ways punks have built and documented their own misfit collectives since the mid-1970s, assembling alternative worlds of riotous music, art, fashion, and writing. This book ranges across the United States and over multiple generations, highlighting the diverse people who make punk happen. Over four hundred color images of rare flyers, photos, zines, letters, and more showcase the creative and political energy that has fueled punk from the start. New interviews and essays featuring Aaron Cometbus, Anna Joy Springer (Blatz, Gr'ups, and Cypher in the Snow), Fayette Hauser (on Tomata du Plenty), Ian MacKaye (Dischord Records and Fugazi), Jayne County, KK Barrett and Tommy Gear (the Screamers), Martín Sorrondeguy (Los Crudos and Limp Wrist), Orlando Xavier (Special Forces and United Blood), Sylvia Reed (on Anya Phillips), and Victoria Ruiz (Downtown Boys)--as well as captions by additional artists, photographers, and fans--tell the stories behind the images, music, and scenes. Every page is an invitation from punk's past and present to build your own future.
