What?
Sean Yseult of Rock City Morgue has released her memoir from her White Zombie days, I’m in the Band: Backstage Notes from the Chick in White Zombie.
“The chick in White Zombie”?
During the ’80s and ’90s, heavy metal was a man’s world. Yseult says that aside from girlfriends and groupies, she was the only woman at the shows. Even though she liked being called “the chick in White Zombie,” she struggled to get people to see her as “a musician and songwriter first and foremost.”
Highlights?
Yseult recounts everything from their early days when the band slept on floors or in the van between shows, to their explosion of fame. She describes hanging out with bands like the Cramps, the Ramones, Supersuckers, eyehategod, and Pantera, and includes personal details from her journey, such as her relationship with Rob Zombie.
Why such a big book?
Lots of art. Posters, backstage passes, art and photos. Photos of her as a young ballerina, and photos of her swinging her hair. Lots of photos of her swinging her hair.
Sean Yseult will be signing her book I’m in the Band at Garden District Book Shop on Friday, December 3 from 6 to 8 p.m.
