Someday All the Adults Will Die!

""Unflinchingly honest and wildly entertaining, Someday All the Adults Will Die! captures the rise and fall of Texas punk in all its chaotic glory. As a photographer, Pat Blashill captured that scene from the inside - he didn't just document it, he lived it. Here, he gives the rest of us the same access, with an oral history that's as raw and emotional as the music itself."" - Melissa Maerz, author of Alright, Alright, Alright: The Oral History of Richard Linklater's Dazed and Confused ""Texas had America’s wildest, weirdest punk-and-after scene—a primal playpen of shock rock, instinctive Dada, psychedelic freakout, performance art, scream therapy, and absurdist anti-politics. Austin native Pat Blashill was in the thick of it, photographing the messy madness as it unfolded. In Someday All the Adults Will Die!, Blashill shepherds the ultra-vivid memories of his contemporaries and threads through his own hindsight insights, forming an essential document rich with the textures of a long-gone real-gone time. Hilarious and poignant, this is a story never before told - and an inspiration to future freethinkers and troublemakers."" - Simon Reynolds, author of Rip It Up and Start Again: Postpunk 1978–1984 ""Someday All the Adults Will Die! is packed with thrilling images and stories from a wild scene in a crazy state."" - James Hannaham, author of Didn't Nobody Give a Shit What Happened to Carlotta
