Deep
Tank Jersey
quotes
| reviews | interviews
 A
first person romp through the subculture of night life on the
New Jersey club circuit with one of its premier bands, Dog Voices,
Deep Tank Jersey resonates with humor and sentiment. It
is an inside look at life in the fast lane with hard working musicians
and the twisted people who surround them nightly. Many other top
NJ bands, their roadies, groupies, management and agents are dissected
through jc's magnifying glass. Owners, bouncers and employees
of popular night spots tell wild and sometimes moving stories
of success and failure in a dog eat dog business that changes
on the fly. It is also a story of loneliness and passion in a
world where the thrill-a-minute philosophy can blur lines and
create a bizarre reality.
Quotes:
"Your
manuscript is amazing! We'd most likely publish it if you'd just
let us edit the damn thing! Who do you think you are Jack Kerouac?
(exasperated expletive).
-Simon & Schuster
"This
is simply the best example of life out of bounds written about
our tiny corner of the world."
-LBI Islander 7/96
"'Deep
Tank Jersey' is the underground world of middle class rock n'
roll that someone had to write about. Everything from inebriation
to incarceration and back. A wholly enjoyable read for the club
veteran and frightened novice."
-EC Rocker 8/4/96
"James
Campion dives right into the heart of the band scene. No subject
is taboo, be it personal or professional. From Monte's notorious
-- some say dangerous -- stage antics to the legendary band, Dog
Voices feelings on touring, fans, and each other."
-Steppin' Out Entertainment Magazine 1/29/96
"We do
not recommend attempting anything written in 'Deep Tank Jersey',
but it sure is a fun read!"
-Aquarian
Weekly 6/24/97
"No one
is spared James Campion's satirical wit in this roller coaster
ride of a book. And the best perk is that it is all true. Anyone
who has been in a band, worked in, or frequented any rock club
will enjoy this jaunt through the circus life of crazies and big
hearts who have called the edge home."
-More Suger Entertainment 5/98
"I'm in
that thing!"
-Razz from "K-Rock"
WXRK Radio NY
"This
is one fun book."
-The Nerds

kill that bastard Campion if I could stop laughing!"

Voices
