Running on Empty (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780985489502)

They were supposed to be the next big thing - the band that would carry the torch passed to them by groups like Led Zeppelin and The Who. That was Mellowtron's destiny, and it seemed inevitable until their manager, James Blank, was gone. Without his leadership, the band crash-landed like Skylab, their early success reduced from a certain future in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to a humiliating Wikipedia entry. Two years have passed, and the band members are lost souls, jaded and ripped off by the music business. The lead singer is holed up in a seedy hotel on the Sunset Strip, slowly going insane. The drummer is harassed by protesters wherever he goes. The bass player is more confused than ever, struggling in vain to create some decent music. The guitar player is AWOL. Can the fun-loving Mellowtron misfits get their act together and attempt a reunion? "Band On The Run" documented their meteoric rise. Two years later, the band is "Running On Empty".
