In 1997 Michael Nine set off on his first tour as Death Squad.
Beginning in Northern California, where he lived, the tour was an ambitious
six month journey across the United States and into Canada, comprised of sixty shows.
Amidst the chaos he managed to extensively document his experiences,
taking close to four hundred photos and preserving flyers, posters and handouts.
After decades of touring, Michael looks back at this first
venture and shares his recollections; digging into the memories of
each show, the people and places encountered along the way.
The reader is taken on this journey and plunged into the
underground noise scene. The highs, lows and absurdities are amplified.
