"In a clever new book called The Worst Gig (Sourcebooks) dozens of famous performers tell author Jon Niccum about the concerts they'd rather forget. Niccum manages to wrangle anecdotes from a bunch of folks I admire, including Alice Cooper, Gwar, Wilco, Rufus Wainwright, Aimee Mann, Henry Rollins and INXS."

"Even the more obscure bands have some nearly unbelievable stories from the road to tell. From riots to trying to play major shows with food poisoning to adventures with broken-down vans and stolen equipment and many other bizarre events that happen to people who live their lives moving from gig to gig, the reader is enthralled and entertained by the dark side of musical stardom."
Thrillist
"From a Kansan music journalist, TWG catalogs well-known bands' horror stories, with selections from the likes of Rush (who hilariously played a sock hop in their early days), to Kansas, who headlined with Foreigner at a Wisconsin nudist colony because they mistakenly thought ‘there'd be all these beautiful blonde women,’ also what disappointed nudists were left saying when the band came on stage."
