Charles Dickens BewareIt's Mark Makoway
So what does a rock 'n' roller do with extra time on his hands when he's not touring or recording? Well, if your Moist guitarist Mark Makoway you sit down and write a book about what you know. So, what does Makoway know?
He's not writing a Harry Potter children's story that's for sure.
Instead he's culled his vast wisdom of rock 'n' roll knowledge into a
tome titled, The Indie Band Bible.
It's been hailed by the publishers as a way of managing your career in
either becoming a mega star or at least earning a living doing what you
love.
One of the people Makoway called was his manager Terry McBride (CEO
Nettwerk) who is quoted on the website as stating. "Sometimes when I
sit down to talk with new artists (even established veterans), I wish I
had some sort of book or manual I could present them with to have as a
source of information. Well, The Indie Band Bible is that book. The
more educated you are about the music business, the more you'll be able
to have valuable working relationships with the many professionals
you'll be coming into contact with. I'm also happy to say I'm the
author's manager and he got more secrets out of me than he should have!"
