What happens when the world’s biggest musical acts sit down on Australia’s most famous couch? The answer: drunkenness, dark introspection, mania, hilarity, incoherent rambling, sharp-edged commentary, and fiery artistic differences, along with the occasional food fight. This story follows a music obsessive who landed her dream job programming rage, leading to constant encounters with the world’s most popular bands and artists. Over more than twenty years, the couch has witnessed it all: Kylie Minogue’s golden bottom, Gene Simmons’ partly leather-clad, mostly bare buttocks, Courtney Love’s contortions, and the complexities of Nick Cave, Trent Reznor, Gwen Stefani, Billy Corgan, Marilyn Manson, Michael Hutchence, Jack Black, Lily Allen, Green Day, and many more. Its fabric bears the marks of cheap wine, fine Champagne, cocktails, beer, coffee, pizza, and even fire, as some electronic artists have a penchant for arson. With the biggest names in music and juicy backstage anecdotes, this narrative is filled with wild moments, rock and roll tales, and plenty of secrets from the couch.
