Ryan Gosling, Jaz Coleman, Sydney and Auckland After Dark: New Memoir Shines Light on Antipodean Punk/Grunge Underground

SYDNEY, NEW SOUTH WALES, AUSTRALIA, November 11, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Gutter to the Stars: Memories of a Post-Grunge Drifter by Latimer Redlance (out 5 December 2025) captures Sydney and Auckland's back rooms, bridge shadows, and beat-up guitars without a hint of sensationalism. Between gigs and grim rentals, Redlance found himself trading stories with Killing Joke’s Jaz Coleman and crossing paths with a young Ryan Gosling: encounters that frame a life lived in defiance of ordinary and seem almost to unlikely to be true.

The Memoir preserves the unwritten history of Australia and Aotearoa’s Gen-X underground: bush raves, cheap rent, and the kind of mateship that kept people afloat.

“Scenes survive on people showing up,” Redlance says. “Sydney and Auckland taught me that belonging is built load-in by load-in.”

Filed under Biographies & Memoirs → Music → Punk, the book explores resilience, community, and hope in the noise of modern life.

Availability: Publication 5 December 2025 (Amazon Kindle and paperback). Australian media: review copies and interviews available on request.
