LIVE…SUBURBIA! is a celebration of suburban Americana and youth culture in the post-1960s world, all the way up to the culture mesh of the 90s, co-authored by by Anthony Pappalardo and Max G. Morton. This book looks like a seriously entertaining read, with awesome photos and stories that will either remind you of your youth, or remind you of why you wish this was your youth, instead of your years of Power Rangers and unpronounceable Japanese anime characters. Pappalardo and Morton have compiled home photographs of the legendary subcultures that rocked the suburbs in the pre-cell phone, pre-Internet era, archiving the suburban decay that manifested itself in skateboarding, the KISS army, graffiti, skinheads, hardcore, punk, kung-fu, mall arcades, metal, BMX, drug abuse, and all the rest of the youth movements born from idyllic American hamlets across the nation. The book hits the shelves courtesy of powerHouse Books in October, and the official release party is Friday, September 23, 7–9 PM at the powerHouse Arena in Brooklyn. They are also giving people a chance to submit and display their own suburban photo memorabilia at the release, for more details check the flyer after the jump. Also check out a rad preview video with some awesome, rainbow Sabbath footage from their ’74 performance at California Jam, plus the LIVE…SUBURBIA! book flip.
