In the Chicago suburb of Buffalo Grove in the summer of 1988, aimless high school graduate Jeff Posey forms an unexpected friendship and creative partnership with his musical hero Ace Ramos, lead singer-songwriter of a rock band on the verge of superstardom.
But after a mysterious illness steals Ace's ability to perform, Jeff discovers an incredible secret that calls their entire relationship into question. And when he learns the full truth of where Ace came from-and why he sacrificed himself to make the trip-Jeff has to spend the rest of his life weighing what he's lost and what he's gained.
I've Heard Some Wild Stories About That Band is a genre-bending tribute to the teleportational power of music. It's about the birth of grunge, imposter syndrome, the affectionate profanity of male friendships, all the sketchy stuff that the CIA got into after WWII, and whether it's really better to burn out than to fade away.
