Can those who yearn to truly LIVE stomach a life of quiet correctness?
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas meets On The Road in this visceral Gen-X memoir of chaos, music, and hard-won redemption. Gutter to the Stars: Memories of a Post-Grunge Drifter follows one relentless anti-hero through decades of beautiful disasters as he pushes his life past every breaking point-and somehow survives to tell the tales.
From the frozen Gulf Islands of 1980s Canada to the brutal regime of a New Zealand boarding school. From the feral bush raves of 90s Aotearoa to the Gothic rooftops and unforgiving streets of early-2000s Sydney. This is the story of a generation that spat in the face of safety.
Along the way: chance encounters with Killing Joke's Jaz Coleman, a young Ryan Gosling, and a cast of misfits who prove that art, rebellion, and madness don't just intertwine-they explode.
These stories shouldn't be possible and may seem hardly believable. But every word is true.
Wildly funny, brutally honest, and seared into memory, this is nostalgia with teeth. Proof that some of us were born to live on the edge and somehow not fall off. For those who were there: your time machine. For those who weren't: a window into a world you thought was myth.
Burn bright. Burn loud. Just don't burn out.
