From her childhood in the sunbaked suburbs of Southern California, growing up with a schizophrenic sibling, to New York's downtown art and music scene in the halcyon days of the 80s and 90s and creating Sonic Youth-a band that would go on to pave the way for acts like Nirvana and inspire the Riot Grrrl generation.\u003cem\u003e Girl in a Band\u003c\/em\u003e is an edgy and evocative portrait of a life in art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA decade on, Gordon's exploration of the artists, musicians, and writers who influenced her, and of the relationship that defined her life for so long, remains a deeply intimate self-portrait of a woman who became an icon, and whose stature continues to evolve in and grow. With a new foreword by Rachel Kushner and new chapter from Kim herself ruminating on her career as a solo artist and her two 2025 Grammy nominations, her connection to touring after nearly forty years, and the death of her brother Keller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eKim Gordon is an artist, musician, producer, writer, and actress.
