Sex Is No Emergency

Dorothy Max Prior’s memoir sequel to 69 Exhibition Road chronicles her experiences throughout the 1980s within experimental music and underground culture. Prior recounts her time as drummer with the infamous pansexual psychedelic group Psychic TV, navigating London and New York’s queer clubbing scenes, and engaging with the UK indie music landscape during its commercial peak. The narrative weaves personal milestones—motherhood, performance art, relocation to Brighton—with encounters featuring figures like Derek Jarman and Björk. Published by Strange Attractor Press in both unlimited paperback and limited hardback editions with ephemera, the 342-page work combines black-and-white and colour photography. Prior’s multi-disciplinary background spans punk muse, post-punk musician, exotic dancer, cabaret performer, and current sound artist, making this an insider account of transgressive creativity, queer subcultural history, and experimental music practices during a transformative era.
