Christopher John Campion

4.9/5 (19179 ratings)

Description:Indie rock raconteur Chris Campion one of the few patients ever to escape from Bellevue's locked ward recalls his band's tumultuous ride, his plummet into addiction, and the strange road back to sobriety. Chronicling more than twenty years in the life of a Long Island kid who became a hardcore fixture of Manhattan's indie rock scene, Escape from Bellevue is a coming-of-age tale like no other. As the lead singer of New York based indie rock band Knockout Drops, Campion got a taste of fame (but, alas, no fortune) on a wild ride that lasted from the early 1980s through the 1990s. Charting Campion's extensive experience in the music industry alongside his personal tales of struggle and survival, Escape from Bellevue puts the spotlight on the collective psychosis of twenty years spent in a rolling bacchanal. Just as the Knockout Drops reached the height of their success, having toured with headliners such as Soul Asylum and Violent Femmes, Campion began his downward spiral. Campion was eventually able to come to grips with his addictions, molding his songs and stories into a sold-out off-Broadway musical, Escape from Bellevue. Now presenting these tales in a memoir of madness and redemption, Campion once again proves to possess the creative genius of a die-hard front man.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
