From the Back 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.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Fall are one of the world's most iconic groups, led for the last thirty years by the inimitable and enigmatic Mark E. Smith. They have released nearly thirty studio albums, with in excess of fifty musicians passing through their ranks. They are The Fallen; this is their story. Dave Simpson has spent two years of his life tracking down everyone who has ever played in The Fall. The resultant book is full of hilarious and shocking anecdotes about life in one of the country's most intense and insane bands. It is also a biography in reflection of Mark E. Smith, a man who runs his group like a football team, for whom no one member is greater than the Fall. Featuring a host of new interviews, this is a fascinating insight for all of The Fall's devoted fanbase, which famously included John Peel, and anyone who has ever been curious about the group, and interested in the post-punk cultural landscape of Britain. 'The best book yet on a band that have evolved into a cross between a large Victorian family and a rehab unit.' The Times Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781847671448
