In which the writer hunts down former Fall members.
A telling excerpt:
"'This drunk man [guitarist Neville Wilding] came backstage asking if anyone played drums,' [Chemical Brothers manager Nick Dewey] says. 'The band had had a fight and left the drummer at motorway services.' Dewey hadn't played for 10 years, but once a Chemical Brother put his name forward, Wilding refused to take no for an answer. Dewey was led to a darkened tour bus to meet Smith, 'passed out with his shirt off. The guitarist had to punch him in the face to wake him up. Then they began fighting over whether or not they should teach me the songs. Mark said no!' With a blood-covered Smith offering occasional prompts, Dewey pulled it off."
