Krátky popis
A stunningly candid portrait of the Seattle grunge scene of the
'90s and a memoir of an addict during the last great era of rock
'n' roll excess, by Hole drummer Patty Schemel Patty Schemel's
story begins with a childhood surrounded by the AA meetings her
parents hosted in the family living room. Their divorce triggered
her first forays into drinking at age twelve and dovetailed with
her passion for punk rock and playing the drums. Patty's struggles
with her sexuality further drove her notoriously hard playing, and
by the late '80s she had focused that anger, confusion, and drive
into regular gigs with well-regarded bands in Tacoma, Seattle, and
Olympia, Washington. She met a pre-Nirvana Kurt Cobain at a Melvins
show, and less than five years later, was living with him and his
wife, Hole front-woman Courtney Love, at the height of his fame and
on the cusp of hers. As the platinum-selling band's new drummer,
Schemel contributed memorable, driving beats to hits like
",Beautiful Son,", ",Violet,", ",Doll Parts,", and ",Miss World.",
But the band was plagued by tragedy and heroin addiction, and by
the time Hole went on tour in support of their ironically titled
and critically-acclaimed album Live Through This in 1994, both
Cobain and Hole bassist Kristen Pfaff had died at the age of 27
With surprising candor and wit, Schemel intimately documents the
events surrounding her dramatic exit from the band in 1998 that led
to a dark descent into a life of homelessness and crime on the
streets of Los Angeles, and the difficult but rewarding path to
lasting sobriety after more than twenty serious attempts to get
clean. Hit So Hard is a testament not only to the enduring power of
the music Schemel helped create but an important document of the
drug culture that threatened to destroy it.
