Cityboy: Beer and Loathing in the Square Mile

Product Information

I had this notion that somebody who was tapped into all of that, everything that this city knows ... Somebody who could know everything the city knows could be a pretty interesting thing to explore in a sci-fi or superhero book. I have this image of this kid walking down the street with the streets curling up around him, and this kid would not only know what the city knows but be able to tap into and control the city. That image had been in my head for years. City Boy's first five albums were produced by Robert John "Mutt" Lange, who was recommended to them by Phonogram A&R guy Chris Peers, and their debut album entitled City Boy, was the first full album that Mutt produced after relocating to the UK from South Africa. Lange became the de facto seventh member of the band, helping Chris Dunn hone his bass guitar skills and assisting with vocal arrangements. "Shake My Head and Leave", City Boy's first single off their eponymously titled debut album, was released in 1975 and received decent airplay. Their next single, "The Hap-Ki-Do Kid" earned them an appearance on BBC's Top of the Pops, where they became the first act to ever perform 'live' on the show.

It's a different kind of power and story, and I hope folks take that same pleasure and are surprised and have fun with it.

Does City Boy want to be a hero? He isn't eager to put on a cape or cowl and save the day, despite wanting to do the right thing. Everyone sells their soul to the devil. I just decided I'd get a damn good price for mine, as I walked along Bishopsgate one evening in 1996 for my interview with David Flynn at Banque Inutile (Ha ha). Up until my brother's intervention the previous day I'd been a genuine leftwing hippy having been to Glastonbury once, but now I was going to be an investment banker. a b Kent, David (1993).

Mike Slamer went on to record and work as a session musician and staff composer after a stint with American band Streets fronted by Kansas vocalist Steve Walsh in the early to mid-1980s. They recorded two albums for Atlantic Records, 1st and Crimes in Mind. Later with bass player Billy Greer (ex-Streets and currently a member of Kansas), he formed the band Seventh Key. Cities are always a place where people reinvent themselves and find community or get lost. That's the other big part of it. Thematically, the book is a celebration and also a critique of this whole fantasy of the city as this thriving place of community. Because it is that way, absolutely, but it's also not. Cities will eat you alive. Cities will save you, but also destroy you, and that happens every day for millions of people. Cities are the only place a lot of people can find their community; cities are also places where people are lost. In 1998, the first four City Boy albums were reissued in two double-CD sets by Renaissance Records.

You'll never overtake me as the City's LEADING UTILITIES ANALYST," he drawled, as he flew off in his Learjet for a weekend's R&R in Monte Carlo.For the next five years I became everything I'd always despised as I made my way up from Vauxhall Conference also-ran at Banque Inutile to Premier League trader at Schiessebank (Ha ha again). I cheated on my girlfriend, I shafted my colleagues and I lied to and brown-nosed clients. But still I couldn't outdo Hugo. At that moment in 2004 I realised I couldn't take any more of the City. For some reason, I managed to hang on for another three and a half years of bonuses that were 10 times the GDP of some third WORLD COUNTRIES. In October 2009, Renaissance Records released City Boy's seventh and final studio album, It's Personal (1981), for the very first time on CD.
