Part #4 of our chat with @Isabelle Drake LUV: Tell us something most fans don’t know about you. Isabelle: I was a punk rock scene kid. I went to most all the shows that came through Detroit in the early 80’s—Devo, Ramones, Black Flag (before Henry Rollins and with), Dead Kennedys, X, Iggy Pop, Fear, the Misfits (I helped them with their hair in the women’s bathroom), and all the rest. I wasn’t into the high school scene. It was the height of the Preppy Era and, with my bright yellow plastic Fisher Price lunch box purse and ever-changing fashions, the other students didn’t know what to make of me. So, I spent half the day at cosmetology school and the other half, when I was supposed to be at school, scouring thrift shops and daydreaming. My sister and I were interviewed for a documentary on the Detroit hardcore scene. The director thought it was cool that I’m a writer, so he made a special clip about my days at The Freezer, a now-famous hole in the wall club (actually, it was just an empty warehouse on the infamous Cass Corridor) where most all the bands played when in the Motor City. Curious? Here’s the link: https://youtu.be/F5SzTYiYpdI.
