Dave Bidini (Canada)
Dave Bidini is the guitar player for the well-known Canadian rock band, the Rheostatics. He is also the author of The Tropic of Hockey and On A Cold Road. His newest book, For Those About to Rock, is a guidebook for any teenager who has dreamed of being in a band and making it big. Bidini takes an off-beat and humorous look at everything from playing your first instrument, to dressing for success, to getting along is spite of it all.
For Those About to Rock McClelland & Stewart, 2004   Publications
For Those About to Rock is jam-packed with advice, stories, warnings, tips and info about getting started in the music business. Bidini discusses everything from picking a name for your band (one that won’t sound ridiculous years down the road), to raiding your parent’s closet for quality stage wear, to going on winter tours across Canada in a bus without heat, to bombing shows. This insightful book is entertaining for readers of any age who have ever wanted to rock!
