Below Ambition

£24.99

Megg and Werewolf Jones are Horse Mania, the ‘worst band in town’ operating far below the status quo of ambition. Join the musicians as they battle through shoddy, distracted practice sessions, a squalid house show, and a doomed interstate tour. They’ll drunkenly flail through their sets amidst toothaches, nervous breakdowns, hobby forms, suicide attempts, mounting hatred, and a galaxy of benzos. This is music and performance in its most primal, multifaceted, and pure form. ‘Below Ambition’ is a mediation on youth, performance, and memory as only the best comedic writer in comics is capable.

Description

Megg and Werewolf Jones are Horse Mania. Horse Mania is a test of the audience’s patience, proudly the ‘worst band in town,’ without any ambition to make it. Join the musicians as they battle through shoddy, distracted practice sessions, a squalid house show, and a doomed interstate tour. Watch as they drunkenly flail through their sets amidst toothaches, nervous breakdowns, suicide attempts, mounting hatred, and a galaxy of benzos. This is music and performance in its most primal, multifaceted, and pure form. Feel the tension. See the dirty looks. Taste the pain. Smell the depravity. Hear the veiled beauty. Horse Mania wants you to lose your mind. Below Ambition is a meditation on youth, performance, and memory as only Simon Hanselmann, the best comedic writer in comics, is capable of. The book will also include a flexidisc single by Horse Mania, ‘Stick It In for the Ambient’, which will be bound into the book with a perforated edge for easy removal and play.
