Punk Globe: Bebe, thanks so much for taking some time to talk with Punk Globe when you’ve got so much going on! You’ve got a new CD - HARD LOVE - that just hit the streets on September 27. “I was raised at CBGBs… Cut my teeth at Max’s Kansas City!” ~ Normal Girl, HARD LOVE We caught up with Bebe recently while she was putting the finishing touches on her newest collection of songs called ‘Hard Love’ just released this week…

To say that Bebe Buell has done it all would be a considerable understatement!īebe with Stiv Bators and Rodney Bingenheimer She is a true punk rock renaissance girl. The closest description of Bebe’s sound might be Marianne Faithful had she grown up on Lower East Side of New York listening to the Velvet Underground and The New York Dolls. Today, she still packs clubs in New York and L.A., and has built a strong following across Europe. In the early days, she played parties in the Bowery with The Ramones. Covers Girl, The B-Sides, The Gargoyles, The Bebe Buell Band… Winding through the years telling stories about her life and everything she has seen. Beginning in the 1980’s with a four song demo on which The Cars played as her backing band, she has never stopped writing songs. And through all of these different incarnations, Bebe Buell has made cool, raw music that comes crawling at you like a snake out of the Bowery. Bebe helped manage Liv’s career beginning in 1992 and over the past decade has seen her daughter become one of the most respected young actors of her generation. She’s been by the side of many of the most inspired artists of our times… Todd Rundgren, Jimmy Page, Jack Nicholson, Mick Jagger, Elvis Costello, Iggy Pop… and the father of her famous daughter Liv, Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler. There are songs written about her movie characters based on her life. She’s been a New York Times bestselling author.

Bebe was the ‘it girl’ who did it all: She was a model a Playboy Playmate a rock ‘n’ roll muse… Hanging out in the studio with the Rolling Stones with the New York Dolls when they recorded their debut album partying at Max’s with Andy Warhol having tea with Salvador Dali. During these early years, she quickly became a fixture on the New York underground scene while it was becoming the coolest place on the planet. Bebe Buell spent her early years as an army brat growing up in the beach towns of Virginia but when she was discovered by modeling super agent Eileen Ford at the age of 17, she hit the scene running in New York City and has never looked back.
