Evan Dando spills the true story of his band's
tumultuous history and what it was like to be famous in the
pre-internet days in this candid, colourful, and unputdownable memoir.
After
Kurt Cobain died in 1994, everyone thought Evan Dando was next. The
Lemonheads' frontman and songwriter had leapt from Boston's mid-80s punk
scene into international grunge royalty. Two gold records, acting
roles, glam photo shoots and a roster of celebrity drug buddies made
Dando quickly into a poster boy for 90s analogue excess. He was so deep
in it, some people believed a fake report that he had died from an
overdose.
Rumours of My Demise is
Evan Dando's story - raw, wild, unfiltered and straight from the
source. A privileged kid who snuck into gigs and crashed on whatever
floors he could find. A stunningly gifted rocker who propelled his high
school band into the highest reaches of indie fame. The industry's
favourite 'alternahunk' until he wasn't, who all the same burned through
the 90s like he owned them. A guitarist and singer who racked up
struggles punctuated by some striking successes in the internet hashtag
decades that followed, before making a wholly new home and life in
Brazil.
But you won't find a redemption arc here, and just a few
regrets. At the end of it all, it's a manifesto. In this memoir, Evan
Dando explains how and why he has always lived for the music.
