Melissa Auf Der Maur will release a new book, "My '90s Rock Photographs", on September 8 via DelMonico Books and the Art Gallery of Ontario.

As the bass player for iconic 1990s alternative rock bands HOLE and THE SMASHING PUMPKINS, Melissa toured the world, documenting life backstage, onstage and in the crowd.

Her new book collects over 10,000 photographs showcasing her time with these influential bands.

Among those featured are moments with Courtney Love's daughter Frances Bean Cobain, as well as snaps taken during performances and downtime.

Auf Der Maur's photographs capture the essence of Generation X through intimate self-portraits.

The book delves into her memories from touring with influential acts like PAVEMENT and SONIC YOUTH.

Her extensive archive includes documentation for Spin magazine's coverage of Lollapalooza 1995 and the Tibetan Freedom Concert of 1996.
