“There is a terrific clamour of voices in Greg Prato’s oral history of the Seattle scene, more than 100 of them, in fact. And it’s their richness and variety that offers a relevant, funny, sad and persuasive new perspective...Prato does not pull back in his choice of material...A sense of the giddy rise of the city’s music is equally well-handled, and the feeling of community is palpable. It was, though, a dark time filled with dark music and lost people, and Prato’s book – with it’s foreboding title – stands as its record.”
