Richard Hell and the Voidoids

May 30, 2008 21:41



The Voidoids, also known as Richard Hell and the Voidoids, were a New York City punk rock band of the late 1970’s, fronted by the energetic and charismatic Richard Hell (born Richard Meyers), a former member of Television, and one of the first and most memorable icons of the early New York scene. The group is best known for Hell’s nihilistic worldview, reflected in songs like, “Who Says It’s Good To Be Alive?”. Their song “Blank Generation” served as an anthem for the punk movement in New York. The band released the album Blank Generation in 1977, Destiny Street in 1979, and Funhunt (a live album) in 1989. Richard Hell played bass and sang, Robert Quine and Ivan Julian were guitarists, and Marc Bell (or better known as Marky Ramone) was the drummer. All four of the musicians have had rather prolific careers outside of The Voidoids.
