About the Book

Vainglorious: A Punk In The House is the no-holds-barred true story of Stevie Hulme - aka Stevie Vayne - an English Punk Rock 'n' Roll Rebel, House Music Legend, Ibiza Insider, and working-class anti-hero turned music industry executive. From the backstreet gutters of Leeds to the dancefloor glitter of Pacha, Stevie's journey isn't your typical memoir. It's a fast-paced, foul-mouthed love letter to Punk, House Music and glorious self-destruction that takes in a mad-cap cast of thousands, including Johnny Thunders, Iggy Pop, The Sisters of Mercy, The Mission, Soft Cell Stiv Bators, The Gun Club, Erick Morillo, Matt Goss, Puff Daddy aka P. Diddy, Shakira, Madagascar (the movie) and many, many more. Part gonzo memoir, part DIY manual for God's Sad Boys, Vainglorious: A Punk In The House is for the also-rans, the crazy-heads, the never-stop-triers. It's a call to action for anyone with the guts to create their own myth. The only question is: amongst this glorious self-destruction, will our anti-hero find glorious contentment on his journey through 80s Punk, the 90s House scene, London, New York City, Ibiza and the World? Andy Buchan (DJ Mag/Culture & Music Writer) Wayne Hussey - (The Mission) "Stevie Vayne was the real deal. A Punk-Rock'n'Roll Star, not just in his own head but to anyone that came into his orbit. He was legendary in Leeds among a cabal of late-night underworld dwellers, of which I was one.... Stevie IS a Punk-Rock'n'Roll Star. Stevie IS the REAL deal." Royston Langdon (Spacehog) "I met Stevie Vayne after he'd stepped away from the chaos of rock'n'roll - when he was managing the Corn Exchange in Leeds, as Stevie Hulme, and putting on some of the most amazing 'Raves' the city had ever seen - this was back in 1991. But, I played with him once on stage... I saw the spark that never left him. That raw, real energy, like lightning captured in a bottle. For the first time, I witnessed something true - not just music, but a life lived on the edge. That night, Stevie showed me what rock and roll really means. It was the moment I knew I had to leave Leeds and chase that fire all the way to New York. Nick Toczek Testimonial (Writer, poet, promoter and performer) "Of all the many guitarists I've ever worked with, Stevie Hulme stands out as the unrivalled best - the real raw rock'n'riff raunchy deal. And here's the book that proves it. God alone knows how the drug-addled bastard even lived to tell this tale.... If I had his vanity I'd have written a book as good as this myself." John F. Keenan (Leeds music promoter) "Somewhere between the arrogance of the Sex Pistols and the swagger of the New York Dolls, The Vaynes were a popular fixture around the rock venues of Leeds (as well as in other parts of the UK and Europe), they were always guaranteed to pull a crowd. Frontman Stevie was on his way to becoming a Rock God... No one expected the sudden sidestep into Rave Culture and his subsequent escape to New York - but when his good friend and musical hero Johnny Thunders died, Stevie pulled the curtain on Vayne and moved with the times as Hulme. His success with iconic House Music brands like Subliminal Records and Pacha has enabled him to spend his later years on the paradise island of Ibiza, where he resides to this day. Some say he was lucky, I say he was motivated - this is a must have book!"
