New Replacements Oral History Book

dazedcola · 11.12.2007, 12:43 PM

Pitchfork:
Behind the flannel shirts, mussy hair, and "Beautiful Loser" archetype, the Replacements were just a pretty great (if also pretty self-destructive) rock band with some good stories. Minneapolis rock critic Jim Walsh has gathered those stories for an oral history of the band that goes beyond their chapter in Our Band Could Be Your Life.

The Replacements: All Over but the Shouting is an oral history of the Replacements told through Walsh's interviews with their families, friends, fans, former manager Peter Jesperson, Twin/Tone label co-founder Paul Stark, and musicians who count Paul Westerberg and company's band as an influence-- including the Hold Steady's Craig Finn, R.E.M.'s Peter Buck, and Hüsker Dü's Bob Mould and Grant Hart.

While officially due November 15, All Over is actually available now via Voyageur Press. Check out some excerpts from it here.

There are a number of All Over-related literary and musical events that will take place this fall and winter, starting with the November 15 reading/signing/general party at Minneapolis' Treehouse Records/CC Club.
Readings, signings, music, drinks, and other parties:
11-15 Minneapolis, MN - Treehouse Records/CC Club
11-23 Knapp, WI - The Bar Chord Music Club
11-24 Minneapolis, MN - Magers & Quinn

yay!!!

still, the presence of a hold steady is surely going to diminish the quality of the book.
