Sherlocke: Wilson's Band of Brothers 1. wydanie

The Beatles not only took America by storm in the 60s, they spawned a tidal wave of garage bands across the nation. Most of these rag-tag bands gave up before the first set of guitar strings wore out, but a few managed to beat the odds and stick together. In "Sherlocke - Wilson's Band of Brothers," John Harris traces the story of one such band - a group from Eastern North Carolina that turned its passion for rock and roll into a brotherhood of lifelong friends. Sherlocke's music was a familiar soundtrack for all who came of age in the 60s and early 70s. The group cut its teeth on Motown, R&B and Soul, but it was Rock and Roll that won the group fans across the state. The sherlocke story chronicles the birth of the band and all the twists and turns along the path to success. Not only did Sherlocke play lots of music, its members met crazy characters, pulled stunts on one another and lived a most memorable life as weekend warriors in the world of Rock and Roll. Plenty of behind-the-scenes tales will keep readers amused. From the ugliest uniforms of all time to "full moons" on stage to embarrassing nicknames and maddening equipment failures - nothing is sacred in this story that Harris tells as only an insider can. While there were no recording contracts, no hit records and no lasting careers in music, the band's legacy lives on. More than forty years later, the members of Sherlocke enjoy a bond like no other - the bond of friendship. So sit back, chill out, and board this musical time machine bound for the glory days of classic rock; it's time to take the stage with Sherlocke!
