This book collects photos taken by artist Bruce Conner at the legendary Mabuhay Gardens punk club in San Francisco in 1978. There are pictures of legends like Devo and DOA, as well as bands that played one show and immediately broke up, and the whirlwind energy of the scene is frozen in Conner's photographs that improbably capture an era long gone by. Published on the occasion of an exhibition held in Dusseldorf. With text by Greil Marcus.
