This book is a tribute to Tom Guido\'s Purple Onion, a tiny basement club in San Francisco\'s North Beach neighborhood that served as the epicenter of Northern California\'s wild and wonderful garage-punk scene of the 1990s.
Assembled in homage to that beloved local character.
This time capsule of a counter culture, documenting an oral history of memories from regulars, along with photos, flyers, and interviews, conveys the magic and madness that made the Purple Onion - and Tom himself - so special.
