He's creative and sarcastic and can still wear a Wrangler shirt with mean panache. Yes, sighs the happy reader. He's still got it.\"\u003ci\u003e The Weekend Australian\u003c\/i\u003e Singer. Songwriter. Swamp child. Soul man. Tex Perkins is a true rock'n'roll animal. In this loud, uncut, no-holds-barred, laugh-out-loud and take-no-prisoners memoir, the enigmatic king of the Australian music underground lays bare an extraordinary life lived on the road, on the stage and on the edge. Raised a bible-thumping Catholic and beaten bloody on the streets of Brisbane for being a \"cow-punk\", skinny Gregory Perkins flees to Sydney and mutates into \"Tex\", rogue leader of the Dums Dums, Thug and Salamander Jim before finding a strange kind of success, celebrity, sex symboldom and icon status as Tex Perkins, snake-hipped, honey-voiced, often bloodied frontman of influential Aussie bands the Cruel Sea, Beasts of Bourbon and Tex, Don \u0026amp; Charlie... and inventor of \"Zoneball\". Gigs. Albums. Tours. Fights. Feuds. Arrests. Drugs. High times. Low roads. This is a wild ride of a life written loudly, proudly and full of punk energy.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46542743666846,"sku":"TLD-9781925481358","price":34.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781925481358.jpg?v=1771567239","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781925481358","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
