Description

For twenty-seven months in the early 1990s, the four young men who made up the Marvelous Beauhunks were living the dream, taking the Toronto music scene by storm, and making waves with their instant rock-pop hit Fantasy Merry-Go-Round. Drummer and founding member Stephen Wright takes the reader along for the trip as the self professed "best-looking band in the world" goes from rehearsing in the basement of a house in the members' hometown of Oshawa, to the number 16 position on Toronto alternative rock station CFNY's music chart. Insightful and witty, sometimes poignant, always frank, Do Not Resuscitate: the Marvelous Beauhunks is a truly interesting read, whether you've ever heard of the band or not. Never afraid to share his feelings, Wright fills the book with anecdotes and behind-the scenes glimpses as he and his four mates hone their craft and learn about the music industry on the fly.
