Description
:
A coming of age, indie rock memoir of Divine Weeks' first tour in the summer of 1987 by van. Five guys in their early 20's, first time out on their own.   No roadies, no soundman, all they have is their music and their friendship.  They set out on the road to discovery to drink in all they could and maybe sell a few records.  They grew up instead.

“Bill gives you a good picture of what it was like to be in a band, on tour, loving music and hanging out in LA in the ’80s. I was there as well, and I can tell you that it’s all true — this was our life, our reality. It certainly takes me back and reminds me of why it all mattered so much at the time.”  Steve Wynn, The Dream Syndicate

“What Bill See articulates so perfectly in 33 Days is the realization that life moves at light speed, and there’s never a better time than the present to turn dreams into reality.  The circumstances may be tough and the window of opportunity small, but See appreciates that if rock ’n roll is the gateway to happiness, then let the music play.”  Stuart Levine, Variety

“Bill See thoughtfully and effectively captures the pathos and promise that fuels a young musician’s dreams and punctuates the grit and grandeur of life on the road with his poignant and nuanced memoir.” – Spencer Proffer, Music Producer and Media Architect.

“At once universal and deeply personal, this is a coming-of-age story for the D.I.Y. 
generation. Read this and know what “indie” was when it still meant "independent."
 – Conrad Heiney, Substitute Live Journal
