Sex Is No Emergency

Dorothy Max Prior’s memoir sequel to 69 Exhibition Road chronicles her 1980s experiences within post-punk and experimental music culture. Drawing from her tenure as drummer with Psychic TV and Rema Rema, Prior documents immersion in London and New York’s underground queer club scenes and UK indie music landscape. The 342-page volume (published by Strange Attractor Press with 50+ photographs) interweaves accounts of avant-garde performance art, relocating to Brighton, and creative collaborations, alongside personal narratives of motherhood and ballroom dancing. Notable figures including Derek Jarman, Björk, and Madonna appear throughout. Prior’s artistic practice spans performance, sound installation, and spoken word, positioning this work within counter-cultural history that refuses conventional memoir boundaries, merging subcultural documentation with intimate reflection on artistic life during post-punk’s influential period.
