Fresh off the success of their off Broadway theatrical rock-n-roll show, Escape From Bellevue and soundtrack of the same name (available on iTunes along with it's predecessor, Killed By The Lights) Knockout Drops are currently recording a new album slated for release in 2010. Recently Drops' lead singer, Christopher John Campion, has penned a rollicking, hilarious, and very touching memoir called Escape From Bellevue: A Dive Bar Odyssey which is now out to rave reviews on Penguin/Gotham Books. The book is available for purchase at Barnes and Noble and Borders bookstores, Amazon.com and other online outlets, or wherever books are sold. Pick it up and find out how Chris escaped from Bellevue!!!!
