Taste in Music: Eating on Tour with Indie Musicians | Luke Pyenson & Alex Bleeker

Sure, some people will place importance on inter-band relationships, others may wax lyrical about guitar tunings or chord progressions, but what all music fans really want to know deep down is stuff like 'how did Bob Mould maintain his vegetarian diet while touring with Husker Du?'

In 'Taste in Music', musician Alex Bleeker (Real Estate) and food and travel journalist Luke Pyenson take readers on tour across the globe with a diverse lineup of inspiring indie musicians from around the world, sharing meals and travel experiences on the way. 

You can forget (kinda) the sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll of touring, as it is FOOD that is on everyone's minds when they're hopping across states, counties, countries and continents. The chapters inside take us from the hummus dependent Green Room to exploring eating with your on-the-road family, to the importance of wellness and self-care along the way. The essays, stories and conversations throughout illuminate an aspect of touring that is little talked about, and in doing so bring to the fore, not just stories of epic breakfasts, but tales of camaraderie, togetherness and the human experience.

So if you want to hear about Natalie Mering's (Weyes Blood) experiences of solo tapas in Barcelona, Kevin Morby's intimate thanksgiving in Portugal, or Mark Ibold's (Pavement) experiences of rest stops and road food in the US - then this is the book for you
