'No Slade = No Oasis. It's as devastating and as simple as that' Noel Gallagher With six consecutive number one singles and the smash hit ‘Merry Xmas Everybody’, Slade were unstoppable. Now, the man whose outlandish costumes and unmistakable hairstyle made Slade one of the definitive acts of the Glam Rock era tells his story. But there’s more to Dave’s life than rock 'n' roll and good times. So Here It Is also covers the band’s painful break-up, Dave’s subsequent battle with depression, and his recovery from the stroke that threatened to cut short his performing career. If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to be a working-class lad from the Midlands suddenly confronted by unimaginable fame, So Here It Is is the definitive account, told with heart and humour and filled with never-before-seen photos.

With her favorite 80s hair-metal band in town, Bobbi's as starstruck as they come. But when the guitarist is found dead, she's got to find his killer, track down a demonic serpent and take care of fox puppies-good thing she's all fired up! The cozy town of Devil's Orchard has been overrun with all types of misfits and miscreants as they host a reptile expo. The sponsors of the event are none other than Rexx Cobra and Dirk Dagger, two 80s rockers who don't know the meaning of the word restraint. When Dirk's found dead of an apparent snake bite, the sheriffs are quick to rule it an accident. Bobbi's not so sure, because a lot of things don't add up-like how the guitarist had a lot of enemies and more than a few secrets that he was trying to hide from the tabloids. In addition to finding the murderer, she's also trying to track down the mysterious book that her mother was reading right before she disappeared. The old spellbook just might hold the key to what happened-and what evil plans are brewing in the spirit world. But none of that compares to the shock when Grant tells her that he's got a big announcement about his fiancée. So when Granny says that the demon embodiment of Chaos itself is slithering around town, it all makes sense. Because Bobbi's always been drawn to disaster like a moth to the flames... And the Band Slayed On is a hilarious, full-length paranormal cozy mystery filled with plenty of heavy metal, hair spray, humor, homicide, hexes, hellfire, hazardous snakes, hugely pregnant foxes, home cooking-and a recipe from the Devil's Lunchbox that will win friends and influence people!
