Some readers will be surprised to learn that most of the members became friends in a charismatic church, or that the band had thought out a marketing strategy before they had written any songs. Or that at one stage they could barely afford shampoo.
Those who are curious about their lifestyle can read about the house that the band lived in, called "The Barracks of Rebellion" and about the other groups like aKing, Van Coke Kartel and Die Heuwels Fantasties that were formed out of Fokofpolisiekar.
The book will be on sale at the following events. You can have your copy signed by the band.
