The Demands Book One

Rock n' Roll is dead...and they're next In an era of prepackaged, formula-driven music, Laney Kilburn believes she can give the hard rock sounds of yesteryear a new coat of paint. Over time, she assembles a band called The Demands. They build a following, one bar at a time, many owned by the head of the local Russian Mob, Arthur Petrov. Petrov reinvents himself as a high-profile philanthropist but the old ways are harder to shake off than he realizes. Explore the underside of the indie music business. Dark humor and darker deeds tell the tale of a band on the road to success, striving for both survival and recognition. The Demands forge through the obstacles of in-fighting, audience indifference, lineup changes, drugs, family problems, back-stabbing and political intrigue. All the while, promoting themselves as the second coming of Rock n' Roll.
