Read Christopher John Campion's posts on the Penguin Blog.
Indie rock raconteur Chris Campion-one of the few patients ever to
escape from Bellevue's locked ward-recalls his band's tumultuous
ride, his plummet into addiction, and the strange road back to
sobriety
Chronicling more than twenty years in the life of a Long Island
kid who became a hardcore fixture of Manhattan's indie rock scene,
"Escape from Bellevue" is a coming-of-age tale like no other. As
the lead singer of New York-based indie rock band Knockout Drops,
Campion got a taste of fame (but, alas, no fortune) on a wild ride
that lasted from the early 1980s through the 1990s.
"Escape from Bellevue" puts the spotlight on the collective
psychosis of twenty years spent in a rolling bacchanal. Just as the
Knockout Drops reached the height of their success, Campion began
his downward spiral. After finally coming to grips with his
addictions, Campion molded his songs and stories into a sold-out
off-Broadway musical. Now, presenting these tales in a memoir of
madness and redemption, Campion once again proves to possess the
creative genius of a die-hard front man.
