'Before we recorded Infernal Love, I didn't know if I was coming or
going. I developed quite a healthy drug habit and was drinking a bottle
of Absolut vodka every day. I thought that if I gave up drinking, I'd
spend the next two weeks lying in bed and feeling sick. I decided to
keep going and see if inspiration would hit ...' Andy Cairns,
Therapy?
So Much For The 30 Year Plan is the first ever book to detail the life
of Therapy?, one of rock's boldest and most idiosyncratic acts. Written
with the full co-operation of the band's current members--front man Andy
Cairns, bassist Michael McKeegan, and drummer Neil Cooper--this official
biography explores the dizzying highs and crushing lows they have
experienced while navigating a three-decade-long career.
Featuring extensive interviews with the band and key figures from
throughout their career, So Much For The 30 Year Plan offers insights
into the band's origins in Northern Ireland during the Troubles, the
backlash they received from the underground scene after signing to a
major label, the birth of their million-selling 1994 album Troublegum,
the full story behind their split with founding member Fyfe Ewing, and
much more.
Published to coincide with the band's thirtieth anniversary, this is
essential reading for all Therapy? fans--and for anyone with an interest
in the alternative music of the era.
