First sentence: The mood at the Keg, a hard-rock dive in the Glover Park neighborhood of Northwest Washington, had suddenly turned ugly.
Description: "Washington DC's creative, politically insurgent punk scene is studied for the first time by local activist Mark Andersen and arts writer Mark Jenkins. The nation's capital gave birth to the most fertile and influential punk underground of the 1980s and 90s.

Dance Of Days recounts the rise of trailblazing artists such as Bad Brains, Henry Rollins, Minor Threat, Rites of Spring, Fugazi and Bikini Kill, while examining the roots of PMA, straight edge, Dischord Records, Revolution Summer, Positive Force, and Riot Grrrl. This book provides a window on the hidden history of a grassroots rock revolution that burst into the mainstream in the early '90s."--BOOK JACKET.
