by Dave Simpson


From the rear cover

'The best book yet on a band that have evolved into a cross between a large Victorian family and a rehab unit.' The Times Music Books of the Year 2008

Ever been thrown off the bus in the middle of a Swedish forest, or asked to play at one of the UK's biggest music festivals with musicians you've just met who are covered in blood? If so, you've probably been in The Fall. Dave Simpson made it his mission to track down everyone who has ever played in Britain's most berserk, brilliant group.
He uncovers a changing Britain, tales of madness and genius, and wreaks havoc on his own life.

'An extraordinary book.' Simon Price, Independent on Sunday

'A tremendous read. I warmly recommend it.' Stuart Maconie, Radio 2
