Description

Bowie, Bolan, Bryan Ferry and Iggy Pop are the icons that defined the particular type of music that came to be known as glam rock in the early seventies.

It was a period characterized by visual excess and ambisexual confrontation, where performance came to be as important as the music.

Glam gave pop back to disaffected teenagers who lapped it up and reinvented themselves as space-age androgynes.Tying in with the release of Todd Haynes' eagerly awaited film, Velvet Goldmine, Barney Hoskyns' Glam! is a trenchant survey of a thrilling, thoroughly over-the-top time in pop's life.

From Oscar Wilde to Ziggy Stardust, from Liberace to Lou Reed, Hoskyns explores the flamboyant decadence, the bisexuality, and the sheer unadulterated fun of the early seventies.
