Overview

"It's Summer 2005. Nineteen-year-old GRAYSON WINTERS is slacking around Rotterdam, New York, when his dysfunctional PUNK ROCK band TROUBLE BORED lands a last-minute gig that could rocket their careers: opening for legendary rockers ANGERFM at the renowned venue GREEN 90, just outside of Burlington, Vermont. Calling on the help of his drug-dealing best friend, NICO RICCI, GRAYSON risks life and love to get his bandmates to the show in one piece. Based on true events, TROUBLE BORED is a HILARIOUS and DARING fictional memoir for fans of AMERICAN GRAFFITI, SUPERBAD, and SLC PUNK. ""When I think about the years I spent with my brothers in music, before it all slipped away, one weekend comes to mind as the supernova of our entire existence as a band. The climax and the point of no return, where everything we worked for and everything we took for granted was gut checked out of our control. Before we self-sabotaged, before some of us lost faith, before some of us left this earth, we had this last crazy weekend where everything we earned and everything we owed played out."""
