If you've ever wondered what it's like to leave your hometown and
follow your dreams, this book is both how-to and warning. Want to be an
obscure comedy band? Now you can! The Bobby Joe Ebola Songbook features
easy-to-learn lyrics and chords to over 90 songs by the infamous
satiric duo, Bobby Joe Ebola and the Children MacNuggits, along with
hilarious illustrations from Jason Chandler of Horrible Comics and over
40 more of the best illustrators from the art world, the comic book
world and beyond.
As longtime DIY artists, promoters, and
organizers, Dan Abbott and Corbett Redford invite you into the bizarre
world of Bobby Joe Ebola. With savage humor they dispense “helpful”
rock'n'roll tips for making amazing things happen on little or no
budget. From putting out your own record to organizing illegal
concerts, from surviving a tour to plotting out on-stage gyrations,
this miscellany is both an adventure tale and call to arms for every
struggling artist.
Tragicomic band trivia, esoteric pop quizzes,
history lessons, and surprises on every page will make this your new
favorite bathroom reading. Brutally honest, sidesplittingly funny, and
strangely educational, The Bobby Joe Ebola Songbook can help artists
and dreamers become doers and makers... if they can ever put it down.
