The Uninvited

In 1998, The Uninvited were poised to become the next multi-platinum darlings of the new millennia. With a hit song burning up the charts and a major label release described as The breakthrough album of the next decade, everything was teed-up for a life of sold-out arenas, gold plated Ferraris and Dom Perignon on draft. But the chances are you never heard of The Uninvited - so what the hell happened?

THE UNINVITED: ON THE ROAD WITH THE GREATEST ROCK BAND YOU NEVER HEARD is the story of 5 friends stuffed in a van on a Homer-esque nationwide odyssey, clinging desperately to a gossamer thread of one-hit-wonder fame while sharing the stage with legends like Cheap Trick, Blues Traveler, The Violent Femmes, Chris Isaak, and many more.

For two sweat-drenched and mind-altering years, The Uninvited had fame by the tender bits and squeezed hard. And for co-founder and songwriter Steven Vance Taylor, just when it looked like life couldn’t get any better, it did; Mia, so achingly unattainable for so many years, landed squarely in the attainable category. But all these dreams collided in a rush to come true, threatening to unravel everything, just when he held it all in his hand.

And there was a gnome, too. He was kind of an asshole.

Laugh out loud funny! Get a copy everyone - you’re welcome.
