"Why the great rock'n'roll novel is so elusive" - The Independent

Why the great rock'n'roll novel is so elusive

Excerpt:

These days, novelists (especially fortysomething ones) take Mark E Smith and Morrissey as [sic] least as seriously as they do Julian Barnes. So how come the great rock'n'roll novel is as elusive as ever? D J Taylor has a theory...

...As befits a novel concerned with post-adolescent angst, The Dwarves of Death comes saturated in Morrissey quotes. Joel Lane's descriptions (a boy with a fringe so floppy that it "could get him signed to Creation Records") are practically sociological in their minute accuracy....

‘Hard Working Class Heroes’ Weekend hosts 100+ Irish bands in 6 venues over 3 nights: 26-28 August, in Dublin. Amongst them are listed Sack, Remma and Pony Club, who received Morrissey’s endorsement when he included their songs on his best-of selection CD for the NME: “Songs to Save Your Life”.

Sack accompanied Morrissey as special guests for 2 world tours, though we are not impressed with the long postponement of the promised restoration of their website! The MorrisseyTour website has some nice articles, photos on them if anyone wants to reminisce further.

Remma were also guest performers for a number of Morrissey’s concerts last year. Recently they returned from the New York International Music Festival where they won the title of Best International Band 2004. Work is currently underway for their debut release.

Pony Club could be heard as part of the song medley broadcast shortly before Morrissey’s appearances on stage last year. They are in the process of mixing the follow-up to 2004’s ‘Family Business’, and lyrics are brooding with “disconcerting touches of Nature Romantic poetry”.
