If you ever get the chance , have  a read of Viv Albertine's book... "Music, Music, Music..., Clothes, Clothes, Clothes..., Boys, Boys, Boys" .

It's an excellent read, very personal.   She was the guitarist with The Slits .

 

And then read the follow up "To Throw Away Unopened" which ramps things up a few  more notches.

The Rocket from the Tombs version of 'Ain't It Fun' would probably be a Top 10 all time track for me.

 

I'd never heard that before. I thought that the Dead Boys version was the original. 

Am I right in saying that the Dead Boys were formed out of the ashes of Rocket From The Tombs?

It's a bit complicated cos there was lots of line up changes but essentially yes.  The band kinda split in two to form Pere Ubu and The Dead Boys.
