I'm With the Band: Confessions of a Groupie
Author: Pamela Des Barres
Publisher: Omnibus Press
ISBN: 1787590755
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 365
Book Description
First published in 1987, New York Times bestseller, I’m With The Band has been reprinted throughout the years, all over the world. This is the stylish, exuberant and sweetly innocent tale of one of the most famous groupies of the 1960s and 70s. Beginning with Pamela Des Barres’ early obsession with Elvis, her own Beatlemania madness, and her fierce determination to meet the musicians who rocked her world, I’m With The Band illuminates the glory days of scintillating encounters with musical gods including Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Mick Jagger and Keith Moon. A girl just wanting to have fun, Des Barres immersed herself in the drugs, danger and ecstasy of the freewheeling 1960s. As a member of The GTOs (Girls Together Outrageously), an all-female group masterminded by Frank Zappa, Des Barres was in the thick of the most revolutionary renaissance in the history of modern popular music. She travelled with Led Zeppelin; lived in sin with Don Johnson; turned down a date with Elvis Presley; and was close friends with Robert Plant, Gram Parsons and Ray Davies. She had affairs with Mick Jagger, Jimmy Page, Keith Moon, Waylon Jennings, Chris Hillman, Noel Redding, and Jim Morrison, among others. A woman in possession of her own destiny, Des Barres blazed a trail for women’s life-writing, standing up for female voices and experience everywhere. From original diaries, told with great warmth, chutzpah and joie de vivre, this is a frank memoir that wears its heart on its sleeve, and recalls one of rock ’n’ roll’s most thrilling eras. This edition contains new material from the author, including her response to the vitriolic shaming of groupies, and a foreword by Roisin O’Connor, rock journalist and music correspondent for the Independent.

Pages : 329
Book Description
"What a thrill it is to read Sarah Priscus’ 70s rock, California-dreaming Groupies. This shimmering debut is packed with tenderness and awe against a backdrop of drugs, sex, rock stars, and high drama. Faun is a lovable, believable, and wonderfully drawn character who will remain in my heart and mind for a very, very long time." — Jessica Anya Blau, author of Mary Jane In a debut perfect for fans of Daisy Jones & The Six, Mary Jane, and The Final Revival of Opal & Nev, Sarah Priscus shines a bright light on the grungy yet glittery world of 1970s rock 'n' roll and the women – the groupies – who unapologetically love too much in a world that doesn’t love them back. It’s 1977, and Faun Novak is in love with rock ‘n’ roll. After her mother’s death, Faun, a naïve college dropout, grabs her Polaroid and hops a Greyhound to Los Angeles. In the City of Angels, she reconnects with her charismatic childhood friend Josie, now an up-and-coming model and muse. To make their reunion even sweeter, Josie is now dating Cal Holiday, the frontman of the superstar rock band Holiday Sun, and Faun is positively mesmerized. Except it’s not just the band she can’t get enough of. It’s also the proud groupies who support them in myriad ways. Among the groupies are: a doting high school girl at war with her mother; a drug-dealing wife and new mom who longs to be a star herself; and a cynical mover-and-shaker with a soft spot for Holiday Sun’s bassist. Faun obsessively photographs every aspect of this dazzling new world, struggling to balance her artistic ambitions with the band’s expectations. As her confidence grows for the first time in her life, her priorities shift. She becomes reckless with friendship, romance, her ethics, and her bank account. But just as everything is going great and her boring, old life is falling away, Faun realizes just how blind she has been to the darkest corners of this glamorous musical dreamland as the summer heats up and everything spirals out of control . . . Equal parts an evocative coming-of-age and a cutting look at fame, desire, and the media, Groupies is a novel that will have you turning the pages until the music- and drug-fueled end.

Groupie

Category : Groupies
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
When Groupie was first published in 1969 it caused a sensation. The Swingin' Sixties capacity to outrage may have been starting to decline, but this novel managed to shock all over again. A thinly fictionalised chronicle of Jenny Fabian's adventures with underground rock heroes of her day, Groupie caused a furore for all kinds of reasons...it had the scent of danger that accompanies an authentic original, it ruffled feathers with its matter of fact descriptions of drug taking and sexual high jinks, it prompted guessing games about teh true identities of its principal characters, most of all, it was highly explicity about a phenomenon that had never before been documented. Almost three decades later, this book is still extraordinarily fresh and playing the celebrity guessing game is still fun. Groupie is also the genuine article - no reconstruction of Sixties underground rock culture has ever captured the Zeitgist as as well as this novel.

Book Description
I grew up thinking that my mother was a groupie who didn’t want me. It wasn’t much different that the home I grew up in where my rock star father and his wife didn’t want me either. At least they let me stick around, even if that’s all they managed. Everything I thought I knew about my mother was a lie. The rest was still true. After nearly dying, blowing up my family’s unsavory secrets in public, and running away to hang out with an up-and-coming band, you would think life couldn’t get more eventful for me. You’d be wrong. Life on the road was supposed to be about disappearing. Instead, I found myself and something else too. I found love and acceptance and I wouldn’t trade it for anything else in the world. *NOTE: The Groupie Journal is a full-length rock star romance novel with some bonus material added!

Tabitha Knight lives a very peculiar life. A child of foster care who has grown into an attractive and ambitious adult, she now finds solace, excitement, and security in the company of rich and famous men whom she dates as a discreet and charming groupie. Everyone wants to be loved. Tabitha understands that. She shares her gifts with those who seek and, perhaps, need love the most male celebrities. She remains anonymous by changing her name, age, and address as often as she changes the men she dates. Only a few things remain constant in her life: the continued love and support of her foster sisters in Seattle and the record she keeps of her life in her secret diary. When a wealthy banker offers Tabitha a huge paycheck to help bring to justice a high-profile celebrity who is known to have sex with underage women, Tabitha finds herself on the wrong side of desperate men, some of whom have more to lose than just their privacy.

Pages : 419
Book Description
Told from behind rock and roll's most notorious blue eyes, We've Got Tonight is the true story from one of rocks most notorious and sought after groupies. Most notable as the woman who was with legendary Who bassist, John Entwistle, when he died, Alycen Rowse has spent over three decades backstage seducing some of the world's most desirable rockers. From the bed of David Lee Roth in 1984, to the wildest years with rock gods Metallica, to the side of the stage during the infamous AC/DC death concert, all the way through to the new millennium and into that infamous Las Vegas bed, Alycen will tell it like it is and take you back to where it all really started...Salt Lake City. Lars Ulrich of Metallica labeled the Mormon capital where Alycen and her cronies ruled the rock world "wilder than a town full of rebellious preachers daughters", while Chris Holmes of WASP fame declared it in the 80's flick "Decline of Western Civilization Part 2" (as so many other rockers have) " the best groupie scene in the world". But Alycen didn't just stop in Salt Lake City and neither do her adventures behind the stage. With more new, never before talked about rock lovers than all other groupie books combined, We've Got Tonight will take you on an unrepentant, no excuses journey of debauchery with the likes of Metallica, Motley Crue, Kiss, Def Leppard, The Scorpions and so many more until she lands in John Entwistle's infamous bed. Fresh stories and a new attitude take this book into a different groupie world and tattles on what really happened during some of rock and roll's most notoriously historical moments. Never before has there been told such a big adventure backstage, and We've Got Tonight is only half the story.
