Everett True launches fundraising campaign to self publish autobiography covering his start through the grunge years to present date.
Everett True launches fundraising campaign via Indiegogo to raise money to publish his biography. If you are getting this email and don’t know who Everett True is then please go learn your history. Everett is the last of the true rock star music journalist. His stories are infamous and without him the history of grunge is kinda a bit boring. There are hundreds of books on Nirvana, but Everett’s book on Nirvana is the only one that matters. He was there, he is as much the story as the actual band. Everett did his time at Melody Maker discovering all the new bands first, no one got to the story before Everett. He was the music editor at the Stranger in Seattle. He was also the editor of damn near flawless Plan B & Careless Talk Costs Lives. Everett even started Collapse Board and helped find and give an outlet to some of the most original voices in music criticism today.
Tall Tales and True: a compendium of stories from the pen of Everett True featuring a cast of dozens – Shop Assistants, Membranes, Huggy Bear, Nirvana, Yeah Yeah Yeahs,Hole, The Jesus Lizard, Alan McGee, David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, Yoko Ono,Ramones, Dexys Midnight Runners, Talulah Gosh, Melody Maker, NME, and so forth. Flights of imagination, best-forgotten bar stories or a gritty deconstruction of the life of a failed music critic? Who can say.
Some of the tiers of donation include good feelings, sign copies, copies of the book, signed manuscript, old zines from the Legend days, signed copy of his thesis on music criticism, a night out with Everett True (in Brighton, UK only), a master class in music criticism (in person or via skype) .
