Utopia Avenue might be the most curious British band you've never
heard of. Emerging from London's psychedelic scene in 1967,
folksinger Elf Holloway, blues bassist Dean Moss, guitar virtuoso
Jasper de Zoet and jazz drummer Griff Griffin together created a
unique sound, with lyrics that captured their turbulent times. The
band produced only two albums in two years, yet their musical
legacy lives on. This is the story of Utopia Avenue's brief,
blazing journey from Soho clubs and draughty ballrooms to the
promised land of America, just when the Summer of Love was receding
into something much darker - a multi-faceted tale of dreams, drugs,
love, sexuality, madness and grief, of stardom's wobbly ladder and
fame's Faustian pact, and of the collision between youthful
idealism and jaded reality as the Sixties drew to a close. Above
all, this bewitching novel celebrates the power of music to connect
across divides, define an era and thrill the soul. 'The great rock
and roll novel - an epic love letter to the greatest music ever
made and the book the music has always deserved' Tony Parsons
