In January 1969, before the world heard a note of their music, The MC5 was on the cover of Rolling Stone. Kramer wanted to redefine what a rock 'n' roll group was capable of achieving - and there was power in reaching for that - but it was also a recipe for disaster, both personally and professionally. The missing link between free jazz and punk rock, they were raw, primal, and unstoppable.Led by legendary guitarist Wayne Kramer, The MC5 was a reflection of the times: exciting, sexy, violent, chaotic, and out of control, and all but assuring their time in the spotlight would be short-lived.
From the glory days of Detroit to the junk-sick streets of the East Village - in and out of prison and on and off drugs - this is the classic journeyman narrative, but with a twist: Kramer is here to remind us that revolution is always an option. The band recorded three major label albums: but by 1972, it was all over.Kramer's story is a revolutionary one, but it is also the deeply personal struggle of an addict and an artist.
