Ian Svenonius's experience as an underground rock musician - playing in such groups as The Make-Up and The Nation of Ulysses - gives him special insight on techniques for not only starting but also surviving a rock `n' roll group. Now he has written an instructional guide, which doubles as a warning device, a philosophical text, an exercise in terror, an aerobics manual and a colouring book. This volume features essays on everything the would-be star should know to get started: Sex and Drugs, Sound, Group Photo, The Van and Manufacturing Nostalgia.
