Vivien Goldman bio:
Musician, journalist and reggae scholar, her celebrated post-punk output of the early 1980’s saw Goldman acclaimed for the social comment on tracks such as ‘Private Armies’ - voted a top feminist punk song by Pitchfork. The accolade led to the release of Goldman’s seventh book, the award-winning Revenge of the She-Punks, which is appearing in seven international editions. Her musical renaissance was prompted by the global popularity of Resolutionary, the 2016 compilation of her early 1980s music recorded with people from PiL, The Raincoats, Slits, Aswad, Robert Wyatt and of her own first band, The Flying Lizards. Goldman’s post-punk classic, ‘Launderette’ recently featured in HBO’s The Deuce and she has been sampled by the likes of rappers Madlib and The Roots, among others. More information about Vivien is available at viviengoldman.com.
