The Drummer of Miami Beach by Joey Maya
The Drummer of Miami Beach: The plan was simple; drop out of high school and become a rock star. But when his wildly popular band unexpectedly folds, rather than give up, Joey Wrecked becomes even more determined to make it in music. What follows is an outrageous adventure of sliding up, and down, the rock and roll ladder. Along the way there are encounters with The Clash, Steven Tyler, more than a few jealous boyfriends, and much more. His story is one-of-a-kind, funny, and actually… true.
“Joey was there from the beginning. I just never knew how he got there. Now I know!”
Roger Miret - Agnostic Front
