Last Gang In Town tells the story and dissects the myth of the Clash, arguably the greatest rock 'n' roll band of their era. Joe Strummer, Mick Jones and Paul Simonon grew up besotted with popular music and its associated culture. In 1976, inspired by the emerging Sex Pistols — and an alliance with the original Pistols ideas man Bernard Rhodes — they set out not only to redefine the rock 'n' roll experience and reform the music business, but also to change the world.
Marcus Gray's biography details the early lives of the Clash members about which little has been published.; provides the first full account of the 1976 punk explosion from a perspective other than the Sex Pistols; and unravels the complex behind-the-scenes machinations that led to the Clash's eventual downfall. Last Gang In Town is a brilliant reconstruction of a classic rock 'n' roll story.
