'A raw and raging celebration of music . . . astounding.' Megan
Bradbury 'Funny, filthy, erudite, and rude.' Carl Shuker 'A
magnificent novel.' Alan McMonagle During their 1985 tour, two
events of hatred and stupidity forever change the lives of a band's
four members. Neues Bauen, a post-hardcore Illinois group homing in
on their own small fame, head on with frontman Conrad Wells
sexually assaulted and guitarist Tone Seburg wounded by gunshot.
The band staggers forth into the American landscape, traversing
time and investigating each of their relationships with history,
memory, authenticity, violence and revelling in transcendence
through the act of art. With decades passed and compelled by his
wife's failing health to track down Tone, Conrad flies to North
Africa where her brother is rumoured to be hiding with a renowned
artist from their past. There he instead meets various characters
including his former drummer, Spence. Amongst the sprawl and shout
of Morocco, the men attempt to recall what happened to them during
their lost years of mental disintegration and emotional poverty.
Dance Prone is a novel of music, ritual and love. It is live, tense
and corporeal. Full of closely observed details of indie-rock, of
punk infused performance, the road and the players' relationship to
violence, hate and peace. Set during both the post-punk period and
the present day, Dance Prone was born out of a love of the
underground and indie rock scenes of the 1980s, a fascination for
their role in the cultural apparatus of memory, social decay and
its reconstruction.
