Rattling Bones (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Rattling Bones was a New York City-based band from 1991-1993, playing blues-based hard rock reminiscent of Deep Purple and the Black Crowes. The band originally called themselves "Funhouse" and were based out of Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota. After several unsuccessful attempts of traveling from the midwest to the East and West coast failed to snare them a recording contract, the band changed its name and took up residence in New York City's lower East Side. The band was originally managed by Herb Gart, whose claim to fame was launching the careers of notables such as Buzzy Linhart, Don McLean and other 1960's and 70's folk-era artists. After parting with Gart in 1992, the band secured a management deal with Nederlander Group, known primarily for their ownership of Broadway theaters, outdoor amphitheaters and other performance venues. The band also collaborated with co-managers Bill Aucoin and David Krebs, of Kiss and Aerosmith fame, respectively.
