Getting It – new novel by Beat Motel Zine Writer Andrew Culture

Zine writer and long-suffering bassist of mediocre but enthusiastic bands Andrew Culture has stopped contemplating his bodily functions long enough to write his first full-length novel.  The book is called ‘Getting it’ and follows the type of character we all recognise from a thousand indie gig-goers as he bumbles his way through trying to ‘improve’ the lives of his friends.  If you’ve read Andrew’s columns (or his zine ‘Beat Motel’) you’ll know what to expect from his storytelling, if you’ve never heard of Andrew Culture then we could probably sum him up as someone who will make you laugh, make you smile sentimentally and make you think (although not much, and mostly about bodily functions).

Steve has decided to dedicate himself to improving the lives of his friends, but it’s not a choice his friends are finding easy to live with. Steve needs his friends – two years ago he became a widower and resigned himself to living out his days as a single man, no matter how many hilariously unsuitable potential lovers friends send his way.

Beth grew up on a ranch in Australia with boisterous brothers and knows better than to let men wallow in self pity. She’s sure Steve is ready to love again, and thinks she knows how to convince him. Unfortunately for Steve, Beth is also unafraid of telling guys when they’re being stupid.

‘Getting it’ is a warm hearted and humorous look at how love finds us even when we’re hiding.
