Coming Unstuck - A Year in the Life of a Failed Funk Band

von Joe Cullen

194 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

'Coming Unstuck' is a 'faction'. Part memoir. Part discourse on why people get stuck. And why forming a band is not necessarily the best way to get unstuck. Based on true events, the book's front-story follows a year in the life of a London band's attempts to claw its way up the greasy pole of the music business. Its backstory involves a journey into the dark heart of stuckness, taking in genetic theory, memetics, the history of the Border Reivers, the Liverpool Police Strike, dodgy Lourdes miracles, a Nigerian Nose-Band, and the refurbishment of the boilers in the Houses of Parliament. Take a front-stage seat as Cyrus, Brendan, Pete, Duff, Max, Flimsy and The Guv'nor overcome unscrupulous promoters, bogus A&R reps, death-wired amplifiers, catatonic audiences, and the music critic of the Borehamwood Times in pursuit of that elusive recording contract. Only to do a Devon Loch with the winning post in sight.
