Abstract
Okay are a Canadian indie/rock band who sound a little like the Velvet Underground on quarter-speed. This is their story.

For anyone who's ever wondered what it's like to be in a rock band, I Play the Drums in a Band Called Okay is a dream of a book that delivers everthing it promises - but it's more than that too, and behind the glitz of celebrity shimmers a mature and nuanced novel about pains and joys as fundamental as those of loving and losing, growing up and moving on...
