Fucked by Rock The Unspeakable Confessions of Zodiac Mindwarp by Mark Manning

‘Zodiac Mindwarp may only be remembered for one - albeit brilliant - album. And now it seems that their finest moment has come... And what a title for a book! After you’ve read it, rip the cover off, stick it on whatever nonsense you start on next and get it out on the bus at every available opportunity.’ - FHM ‘Legendary rock band Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction were filthy, depraved ‘love gods from outer space’ and Fucked by Rock. Mark Manning’s collected memories detail the terrifying and grubby depths that they managed to sink to. Essential.' - X-Ray Manning narrates his journeys much like Alex in Stanley Kubrick's classic film A Clockwork Orange, except Manning's hardcore language shoves rock debauchery into your face with a pelvic thrust. - Gadfly Online ‘Mark Manning brings to life both the astonishing and shocking side of a band that survived on the edge. With some great photos of the band.’ - Terrorizer ‘Makes Motley Crue’s The Dirt look like a girl’s tea party.’ - Steven Wells, NME ‘The greatest rock star in the history of Western culture.’ - Bill Drummond (KLF founder, author of 45) 'A man cursed with a libido which might have provided Freud with material for several books and a Broadway musical.' - The Independent on Sunday Hailed by The Cult's Ian Astbury as "the biggest thing this century" when they exploded into existence in 1986, Zodiac Mindwarp & the Love Reaction were the most outrageous rock band on the planet, sex and drug-driven metal mayhem drenched in leather, fur, and psychedelic swastika chic. Now, at a time when music journalists are heard lamenting: 'Current music is so boring - or at least, the people making it are," (Alexis Petridis, in The Guardian), Fucked by Rock - the official autobiography of Zodiac Mindwarp (aka Mark Manning) - is unleashed. In Fucked by Rock, Mark Manning manages to recall astonishing, often shocking episodes from a decade of debauchery, derangement and brain-damaging excess. Written in his highly-acclaimed vitriolic style, this is a scream from post-rock purgatory and a breath of fresh air to all hell-raising starved music aficionados. Features an introduction by Bill Drummond of the KLF and K-Foundation. ZODIAC MINDWARP news, info and merchandise: www.zodiacmindwarp.com ZODIAC CDs: COSMODELIC RECORDS www.tearscorp.com
