You might call him a rock and roll romantic or a visionary. Hardly anyone else was more involved and had more influence in the development of the emerging New York music scene of the early seventies as well as the New Wave scene in the USA than Marty Thau. Although it was often the others who where covered with glory, it was the visionary Marty Thau who acted behind the scene and helped them on the road to success. He was the one who discovered the New York Dolls, who managed them and helped them to get their first record deal. Thau also produced the Ramones and Blondie's first demos who later reached world fame. Other bands like Suicide, Richard Hell & The Voidoids, The Real Kids and the Fleshtones followed. They all became international cult bands in the course of time and inspired many other younger groups to keep up the rock and roll spirit. At the Punk! Kongress Marty Thau will talk about his experiences in the music business and the early days of the New York punk era. more...
