I WAS A TEENAGE SEX PISTOL: GLEN MATLOCK

Based on the novel written by Glen Matlock, I WAS A TEENAGE SEX PISTOL follows Glen Matlock’s journey as a founding member of the influential punk band the Sex Pistols. Having co-written ten of twelve songs on their only studio album, NEVER MIND THE BOLLOCKS, Matlock’s contribution was essential to the band’s success. Experience the Pistols’ rise to global infamy with an honest, insightful account of a group of malcontents, determined to change the music business and to attack hypocrisy and stale conventions in society at large. Glen describes in detail the mindset of the UK in the early 70s and divulges a wealth of information; the search for a singer, Steve's thievery, the exploding punk scene, and a bleak backdrop providing a contrast to the excitement and energy of McLaren and Westwood’s shop. The public will now have a chance to hear the story, not just from a member of the band, but also from a man whose contributions have been exceptionally downplayed. Featuring exclusive interviews from band members Steve Jones and Paul Cook.
