Pengarang: Peter Blecha

Peter Blecha is a Seattle native and lifelong musician. He was too young to see any of the bands noted in this book during their heyday – but, his first album was by the Ventures, and he met the Sonics when he was about ten. Blecha’s debut ’70s band was Warbucks, and a later one, the Chains of Hell Orchestra, saw a couple songs issued by Sub Pop. He has directed the Northwest Music Archives historical preservation project since 1982, and in 1983 began writing regularly about local music history in The Rocket magazine. Blecha was a founding Curator at Seattle’s music museum, EMP (today’s Museum of Pop Culture – Mo Pop), served on the Museum Advisory Committee (MAC) for the Northwest African American Museum (NAAM), and has served as a Staff Historian and Contributing Editor with History Link.org since 2001. An award-winning author, Stomp & Shout! is Blecha’s tenth book.
