Ever wonder what independent musicians do the other twenty-three hours a day when they’re on tour? Real Fun answers this question with over one hundred photographs of musicians and bands in their downtime—sleeping, eating, fishing, and just goofing off. Ashod Simonian has traveled with scores of the finest bands in indie rock. His dreamy, lush Polaroids capture the likes of Death Cab for Cutie, Spoon, Pavement, Elliott Smith, The Shins, Sleater-Kinney, Broken Social Scene, Wilco, and more. Many of these bands also contributed essays and memoirs to the book, making it an essential collection of wisdom and memories from the road by bands both popular and obscure.
