A Times Book of the Year 'Most underrated group? World of Twist.' -
LIAM GALLAGHER 'They're a top band. No one could do what World of
Twist do, except World of Twist.' - NOEL GALLAGHER 'They were such
a special band, such a moment in time, and Gordon has written such
a special book.' - JON RONSON World of Twist: the greatest lost
band of all time. While fame, glory and untold riches seemed like
an inevitability for World of Twist at the turn of the '90s, the
universe was simply not ready for a group of retro futurists,
psychedelic adventurers and cosmic tunesmiths. Too late for
Madchester, too early for Britpop and too much fun to pigeonhole,
the band went on to face a demoralising string of near-misses and
'what could have been's, ultimately falling apart in a medley of
incompatible drugs, musical contretemps, sartorial differences and
all-round shoulder-shrugging apathy. But they burned bright and
left an indelible mark on everyone who looked deep into their
light... Now, in When Does the Mind-Bending Start?, co-founder,
guitarist and principal songwriter Gordon King tells the incredible
inside story of his time with World of Twist, revealing the
jealousy, anguish and personal demons experienced by the clashing
personalities of King and the band's late singer, Tony Ogden. This
is a memoir of tragedy and triumph, comedy and drama, demise and
recovery.
