For the first decade of the 2000s it was nearly impossible to find
an artist in the renowned Minneapolis-Saint Paul music scene that
wasn't connected to Erik Appelwick, Eric Fawcett, John Hermanson,
and/or Darren Jackson. As songwriters, performers, and producers,
they formed the core of a musical collective that spanned genres -
folk, power pop, R & B, electro-funk, and indie rock-and
included the beloved bands Storyhill, Spymob, Alva Star, Kid
Dakota, Vicious Vicious, Tapes 'n Tapes, and Olympic Hopefuls.
Their thoughtful songwriting, well-crafted albums, and exciting
live performances brought them to the precipice of achieving their
rock 'n roll dreams. This shared biography-drawn from over thirty
new interviews and hundreds of articles-documents the intersecting
musical journeys of these four remarkable talents. It traces their
paths as they converge and diverge, from playing air guitar to KISS
records to rocking gyms in high school cover bands to touring the
world and sharing stages with some of pop music's biggest names.
Equal parts celebration and cautionary tale, here is an intimate
chronicle of the rewards and pitfalls of life as an independent
musician.
