Rock and roll tales from a band's life.

"I Play the Drums in a Band Called Okay" is a must-read for anyone who loves music and wants an authentic peek into a band's life, both on and off the road. The unique feature of this book is its format - a novel in short stories - which provides a fresh and dynamic way of storytelling. Toby Litt does an excellent job of portraying the highs and lows of the music industry, from the wild parties to the personal sacrifices. The book is recommended for fans of music autobiographies and anyone interested in the behind-the-scenes life of a band.

Description

Always hated liner notes - always hated anykinda writing about rock'n'roll
- I mean, why don't ya just shut up & listen to the music?- but here I am
now, with a pen in my hand & a limo waiting outside & 13 minutes to catch
in words what I think & feels about my good friend Clap & about these fine
& dandy tales he's spun - tales of a life on & off the road with a band
called okay - a band in which (just in case you didn't know, hosehead!) I
am the lead singer - & in which (as the title helpfully informs you) Clap
is drummer - not the worlds greatest, technically, even he'd admit to that,
but solid & deep & swingin' & truth-full- if I'd written itm it would be
all about high times & honeys - & Clap has gotten down that wild stuff -
lots of it - but he's also told the cold truth about the things you lose
along the way, the sweet soul damage - & I think he's done it just about as
well as it coulda been done - & believe me, I should know - I wasn't there
for most of it.
