Julian Tepper is the author of two novels, Balls (Rare
Bird) and Ark (Dzanc). As the member of the band The Natural
History, he recorded two albums and co-wrote the hit song, "Don't
You Evah" for the legendary indie-group, Spoon. He lives in New
York.
"Julian Tepper has written an autobiographical slice of late
90s/early 00’s rock n roll life reflecting a period both he and I
lived thru (and, happily, survived) with such ease that I
recognized this world immediately, intimately. Within chapters
sequenced like the tracks on a vinyl LP two brothers work to get
their band off the ground as well as trying to understand the
fractured relationship with their shambling, estranged father.
Kindred ‘workers in song’, as Leonard Cohen termed it, both father
and sons are involved in the elusive game of chasing a hit
record—or even a modicum of recognition—while also trying to see if
there are any ties left holding them all together. This is a book
about family, about rock n roll aspirations and about a few of the
many avenues such lives might take."
—Lee Ranaldo, Sonic Youth
