Product Description
Product Description
From 1985 to 1996, Sean Yseult was the sole woman not only in White Zombie, but in the entire metal scene. Bands, roadies, managers, you name it - with the exception of girlfriends and groupies, Yseult was on her own. I'M IN THE BAND charts White Zombie's rise from the gritty music scene of New York's Lower East Side in the 1980s to arena headlines during the 1990s, while also sharing the unlikely story of a female musician who won the respect and adoration of male metal musicians and fans.

Format:Paperback
This book is choc-Full of pictures and history of White Zombie and their rise to the upper echelons of Metal in the 90`s . It`s an amazing read and harkens back to the time when hard work is what paid off . Before the days of Computers being used as a commonplace tool to help you , White Zombie were creating their own art and flyers , handing them out on the streets ....... and admittedly , quite Rat infested streets . Playing in practice basements and sleeping on floors and touring in a van , doing it the old fashioned way . It`s packed with history and references to other bands who you probably have in your Music Collection and may have seen . It`s worth every penny and a good Coffee-Table book . There are far too many books out there , written by Ghosts writers all based on the same bands .... it`s quite a breath of fresh air to get a book written by a band member and have pictures and info from their own archives and perspective . Much respect to them , and in a day when Music is freely available and everything is distributed and organised online .... it was nice to see a band that did it on their own merit . If you have ever sat up all night creating your own art , flyers ... sat yawning over a photocopier in work whilst you print off more flyers in their time , have gigged endlessly and tirelessly and played every hole in the Universe .... then you will "Get" what this book is all about . It doesn`t cost much and will be a nice little Gem amongst your collection of reads .

Great retrospective on a great band
29 Jan 2011
Format:Paperback
I also came across this book by accident, and even ordered it by accident (I don't order books for myself for about two months before Christmas, but somehow this got pulled off my "wish list" and wound up in a shipment with a book I ordered for work), but I'm glad I did. One of my main musical regrets is I never got to see WZ live, and reading Sean's book helps make up for that a little bit. It's basically a scrap book of posters, photos, notes, ticket stubs, and other stuff she collected over the life of the group with her running commentary. Its one shortcoming as a book reflects well on its author: unlike Keith Richards' "Life," Sean doesn't speak ill of bandmates (for the one exception I found, when she says in passing that one "short lived member" had a drug problem, she pointedly doesn't give a name, although fans know whom she means). Overall, the book is kind of like a more underground, casual version of Bill Wyman's book "Rolling with the Stones."
It's also a great coffee-table book that also functions as a litmus test, instantly revealing which of your houseguests suck and which are worthy. For that function alone, it is worth the price of admission.

I absolutely LOVE White Zombie. Being a fan, I was very disappointed with the Let Sleeping Corpses Lie box set. I had came across I'm In The Band on complete accident while shopping for Christmas. I immediately knew this has to be something amazing. Sean has a ton of photos, stories, flyers, set lists, and even diary pages. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is interested in White Zombie history. If your an old school or a 'new' fan this is a great way to enjoy the personal aspect of the band!

BUY THIS COLLECTOR'S ITEM WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!!!!!

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Everything Sean Yseult put's her mind to she seems to do not just well, but perfectly! Not only did her years at Parson's serve her well, but laid the pavement for her to walk forward onto any creative ground she choses. White Zombie showed Sean the kickass bass player!!! She has gone on to create beautiful silk scarf designs (which Barney's picked up! ) they are beautiful and whimsical. Her collaborative art works with Louis Saint Louis show her early training as an artist. Now she has created a book, journal, photo collage, and memoir that pieces together all that is wonderful and massively talented about Sean Yseult! How many people in bands from the eighties do we know who kept concise and legible journals? She has put together an incredible array of images, thoughts and journal entries. She takes us down a journey of what it must have been like to have been a part of a band that was definitely one of the early innovators of it's genre at the time. If you want to feel what it must have been like to ride the roller coaster of fun, craziness, emotional and out there experiences that were Sean's in the White Zombie years then go buy this book! It won't disappoint ~~~~
