Donna Santisi Ask the Angels

Donna Santisi is a photographer who documented much of the goings on after dark in Hollywood in the burgeoning punk rock scene. In 1977 she published a small run of a book called Ask the Angels, one of the first books to document the L.A. punk scene, which after falling out of print, has become a highly sought-after collector’s item. In this redesigned special edition printing, Donna’s original black and white photographs chronicle both local bands such as The Dogs & The Zippers, as well as national acts like Patti Smith and Blondie. Includes essays by Alice Bag, Kristian Hoffman, Exene Cervenka, Trudie, KK Barrett and more.“Ask the Angels discovers the LA scene as it really happened.” - Kid Congo Powers Donna Santisi is a photographer who documented much of the goings on after dark in Hollywood in the burgeoning punk rock scene.
