Angela Jaeger is our guest to discuss her unique Punk Diaries 1977-1981 book documenting her experiences in the punk rock scene in New York & London. Angela shares her journey growing up in the East Village, her encounters with the likes of Lydia Lunch, Joe Strummer, Viv Albertine & John Belushi. She was right in the thick of the vibrant New York punk scene & became a regular visitor to CBGB's & Max's Kansas City. Angela later moved to London & befriended the Clash, visited Kings Road & even stayed on X-Ray Spex couch. Back in New York, Angela hosted a party for The Clash following their NYC debut at the Palladium & even ended up on stage with the band briefly. We also touch on the legendary Tier 3 nightclub - Angela's sister was the booker & helped to bring the likes of A Certain Ratio, the Raincoats, Pop Group, The Slits, and Young Marble Giants to the venue.
