Synopsis

Take a volatile rock band, a kingmaking concert promoter, a downtrodden clubowner and a rock critic with questionable journalistic ethics, add one hit record, a drug problem, a couple of riots and shake well. There you have the essence of this book, the very unauthorized account of the rise and fall of the Tommy Aguilar Band. Off The Record will confirm your worst suspicions about the music business, an industry in which musicians are like the infantry -- the first to die, and the last to get paid.
