Don Pyle

Don Pyle has lived one of the most genuinely singular creative lives in Canadian music, and ‘Rough Description: Love Letters and Ghost Stories From a Life in Music’, out May 26th from ECW Press, tells that story with the kind of candor and dark humor that only someone who has actually lived it could pull off. Pyle, drummer and co-founder of beloved instrumental group Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet, the band behind the Kids in the Hall theme, brings a sharp observer’s eye to 304 pages of memoir that are alternately hilarious, melancholic, and consistently impossible to put down.
