Product Overview

Art rock? Noise rock? Punk-metal? Alternative? White Zombie may have been unclassifiable, but it didnt stop them from carving out a place for themselves in music history. The band became a multiplatinum, two-time Grammy nominee with the release of their 1992 album, La Sexorcisto. But while most people will remember their bizarre look and macabre lyrics, what many failed to realize was that their lanky, high-octane bass player was a woman.

Im In the Band combines eleven years of tour diaries, flyers, and personal photos and ephemera to chart White Zombies rise from the gritty music scene of New Yorks Lower East Side in the eighties to arena headliners during the nineties. It also shares the unlikely story of a female musician who won the respect and adoration of male metal musicians and fans. From 1985 to 1996, Sean Yseult was the sole woman not only in White Zombie, but in the entire metal scene.

With Im In the Band, Yseult has created both a coffee table book and a striking visual memoir. Her personal memorabilia offers fans a unique vantage on the life of a mega-band during rocks last golden age.
