Overview

From the indie band Pocket Vinyl and the creators behind the popular webcomic The Touring Test, this hilarious graphic memoir chronicles a couple’s road trip as they attempt to break a world record. Together, Eric and Elizabeth perform as the band Pocket Vinyl, where Eric slams on the piano and sings while Elizabeth creates a large oil painting on stage. One day they decide to take on their biggest challenge yet: to tour the whole nation in just 45 days, breaking the fastest time a band has played in all 50 US states. With a route mapped out and the car tuned and ready, they confidently set out with optimism. They’ve been on tour before, they know the drill; yet neither realizes until too late that the stresses would go beyond just missing their cats. From performance highs to travel pains, meeting supportive fans while battling self-doubt, Eric and Elizabeth are determined to finish their tour in time. The show must go on—but it may just come at the cost of total mental breakdowns. Filled with humor, love of music and art, and the gift of human kindnesses, this breakneck trip through the local music scenes across America takes you on an unforgettable journey of what life is like on a record-breaking tour.
