Give Me Some Kick!

A reflection on family roots in England, Germany and the first years of growing up in southern Africa during the troubled 1970s' in Rhodesia. Followed by a challenging new beginning in Europe, learning to overcome insecurity and finding strength and identity with subculture music and underground scenes. I experienced Skinhead life in the mid-late 1980s, started creating own fanzines, explored friendships and failures, fought on the streets and danced through the nights at countless concerts of Psychobilly, Heavy Metal, New Wave, Skinhead, Punk and Ska acts. 'Give me Some Kick!' is a passionate mirroring of a restless past...

The subtitle says everything: From Africa to wild Rock 'n' Roll... Readers are getting a historical view on the exceptional and controversial situation in former Rhodesia..and a glimpse of intense life in underground music scenes from the 1980s' to mid-1990s' spiced with many anecdotes and pictures.
