“Andrew Mueller’s piece on my band’s tour with The Hold Steady is my favourite thing ever written about us . . . The fact that he is a war correspondent (although he claims otherwise) and music journalist and approaches both with a similar slant makes him one of the most interesting writers out there to me. The fact that he also is such a great storyteller and does so with such an acute (albeit black) sense of humour makes him that rare beast whose byline I seek out every month.” Patterson Hood from Drive-By Truckers
Our keenly awaited new imprint, Foruli Classics, has now launched. We aim to republish the best popular culture books which have fallen out of print for whatever reason. To our mind, these are bone fide classics which deserve a new audience.
Our first title in this series is ROCK AND HARD PLACES: TRAVELS TO BACKSTAGES, FRONTLINES AND ASSORTED SIDESHOWS by ANDREW MUELLER.
“The best foreign correspondent of his generation” – P.J. O’Rourke

Legendary singer and bassist GLENN HUGHES (ex-DEEP PURPLE) will be releasing his autobiography in 2010. The book, co-written with Joel McIver and featuring an introduction by METALLICA’S LARS ULRICH, will appear in a luxury first edition complete with rare photos and an exclusive 10” vinyl EP.
“My autobiography is going to be a literary event. I’ve been working on this book for the last three years and you’ve never read anything like it. It’s the true story of the Voice Of Rock, from my childhood via my career in TRAPEZE and DEEP PURPLE to my addiction and recovery. I’m now on top of the world as a solo artist and after so many years of sobriety, I can hardly believe that I survived. I spent a million dollars on cocaine and, when you’ve read this book, you won’t believe it either” – Glenn Hughes, Los Angeles, November 2009
