This hardcover coffee table book spans 320 pages and measures 9.5 x 12.5 x 1.5 inches, weighing 1.84 kgs. Dead Moon, a lo-fi Garage/Rock'n'Roll band from Portland, Oregon, was active for nearly 20 years (1987-2006) and achieved a legendary status. The book presents a dizzying oral history of this idealistic band, exploring themes of love and rock and roll, DIY ethics, and their improbable career. It chronicles the life of singer Fred Cole, who previously played in several bands, and captures the essence of their journey through various musical styles since the Teenbeat era of the 60s. The band adhered to a DIY ethos, shaped by Fred's superstitions and a commitment to avoiding conventional music industry traps. They toured globally, performed in clubs across Oregon, Europe, and New Zealand, and managed their own record label, Tombstone Music. Their story is unique in rock history, showcasing a group that never compromised their ideals while fostering a legacy of art and community. This book serves as a tribute to their distinctive aesthetic and pioneering role in the Portland music scene. Originally published in 2018, the first two US editions sold out quickly, prompting this affordable hardcover version for the European market, documenting the Dead Moon saga in the band’s own words.
