Publisher's Synopsis
The Dead Milkmen is an American punk rock band formed in 1983 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Their original lineup consisted of vocalist and keyboardist Rodney Linderman ("Rodney Anonymous"), guitarist and vocalist Joe Genaro ("Joe Jack Talcum"), bassist Dave Schulthise ("Dave Blood"), and drummer Dean Sabatino ("Dean Clean"). The band distinguished itself in the hardcore punk scene of the early 1980s through its jangly punk sound and sardonic humor delivered with thick Philadelphia accents. They attracted college radio attention with their 1985 debut album, Big Lizard in My Backyard, and the song "Bitchin' Camaro". Extensive touring and further releases helped the band garner an underground following.
This book is a series of hilarious and comical adventures involving many members of the message board as they met for the first time. With a foreword by Dan "Dandrew" Stevens (bassist for the Dead Milkmen), City of Mud is the 100% true story of a group of people, a group who not only became acquainted but also became lifelong friends, thanks to a band's message board -- and an opportunistic adventure around the City of Brotherly Love.
