Description

A collection of portraits and stories about people Fly met while touring the world with the popular cult band God is My Co-Pilot, Peops brings together sketches and conversations, culled mostly from spare moments between sound checks and performing and loading equipment, that reflect the surprisingly deep and beautiful way that strangers sometimes communicate with one another. As Fly puts it, everyone has an incredible story to tell, and everyone deserves to be listened to.

Reviews

"Fly takes the daily angst of surviving under capitalism's boot...and twists them into fantastic, iconic chunks of art; gripping comic-book narratives; and swirling stream-of-consciousness rants." - Michelle Tea; "Her visions should be read every morning instead of your daily newspaper." - John Zorn
