the Year Formed in 1988, Lush were part of the London gig scene
during one of the most vibrant and creative periods in UK music.
Now, Miki Berenyi tells all. From the bohemian ways of her father's
social circle to the privileged glamour of her mother's acting
career, Miki's young life was a blur of travel, celebrities and
peripatetic schooling.But frequent relocation, parental neglect and
the dark presence of her abusive grandmother resulted in crippling
shyness, mental-health issues and a vulnerability to exploitation.
The route out of this hole was music - a passion shared by
schoolmate Emma Anderson. The teenagers began attending gigs
together and would ultimately go on to form Lush.Talented and
exuberant, the band became hot property, swiftly transitioning from
shoegaze icons to Britpop darlings. Re-living the tours, recording
sessions and music-industry madness they experienced along the way,
this uncompromising memoir documents Lush's thrilling rise and
untimely fall. Yet at the heart of the book are Miki's own battles:
the conflict between her mouthy public persona and her thin-skinned
private identity, the trials of being a woman in an infuriatingly
male world, the struggle to find a middle ground between 'safe'
indie obscurity and 'sell-out' international success.Miki also
explores her complicated relationship with Emma - one that has
fluctuated between camaraderie and rivalry over the years - and
addresses the devastating tragedy that led to the band's split.
Told through frank confession, wry humour and searing emotional
honesty, this is the incredible tale of a trailblazing woman and a
seminal band.

môžeme sami.
