Gigs from Hell: True Stories from Rock and Roll's Frontline

by Tess Slesinger

From the dankest rat hole basements to flash arenas, here is a wild ride through Rock 'n' Roll's nightmare -moments. Rife with hellfire confessionals straight from the bruised lips and shaky hands of jobbing bands, "Gigs from Hell "strips the mythology and starry-eyed allure of life on the road to its barest essentials-puke, sodomy, rip-offs, come-downs, and the odd stab at glory. Collected and translated from drunken rock-speak by speedball music writer Sleazegrinder, "Gigs From Hell "is a rare glimpse into what it's really liketo tour, record, and survive in the cutthroat world of the -music industry-no holds barred, full speed ahead, the most cringe-worthy moments fully intact.

Foreword by Vadge Moore, drummer for the Dwarves.

Super real, and filled with laughs and cringes.
