The Modern American Gypsy: This is the account of 220-day squat tour David McWane took with his men across England and Europe, playing music and searching for the unknown. It is less of a band's autobiography and more of - men vs. their odds story. It could be compared to the comradeship found in Endurance by Ernest Shackleton or Steinbeck's illumination of the strength of men at their most challenged. The Modern American Gypsy is an expedition for self-exploration.
