About this ebook
It is the pretentious mid-eighties and a make-or-break tour through hell for Bitter Romance, a small-time band trying to find a place in the competitive music industry. It is a narration in overcoming betrayal, insurmountable odds and a comedy of errors that lead to achieving success in the most unlikely way. Wires Whitmire is the quiet, chain-smoking sound-man who has a knack for getting his band out of the trouble that always seems to find them. His only creative outlet, are the caricatures he draws — a picturesque comedy of life on the road in a rockin' roll band.
