Third Man Books<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If you know anything about Thunderclap Newman<\/strong>, it’s probably that they had one hit, “Something In the Air<\/a>,” produced by The Who<\/strong>‘s Pete Townshend<\/strong>. But their story is evidently interesting enough to have spawned an entire book<\/a>, which comes out Oct. 1 on Jack White<\/strong>‘s Third Man Books.<\/p>\n

Hollywood Dream: The Thunderclap Newman Story\u00a0<\/em>features a foreword penned by Townshend, who also played bass on and produced the band’s one and only album, Hollywood Dream<\/em>, in his home studio.<\/p>\n

The band was comprised of jazz pianist Andy Newman<\/strong>; Townshend’s friend and driver John “Speedy” Keen<\/strong>, who wrote “Armenia City in the Sky” on 1967’s The Who Sell Out;<\/em>\u00a0and 15-year-old Jimmy McCulloch<\/strong>, who went on to play guitar in Wings<\/strong> during the ’70s.<\/p>\n

Keen penned their #1 U.K. hit “Something In the Air,” which remains popular through its use in movies, commercials and cover versions, including one by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Townshend writes in the foreword, “For me Thunderclap Newman was a great adventure and one I try to relive often … [the book] is carefully and devotedly researched with lots of input from all kinds of other friends of mine who shared their journey, and that itself builds a unique picture of the kind of Boiler Room world that musicians thrived in during the mid to late \u201860s.”<\/p>\n

Pete writes of the band, whose members have all passed away, “The saddest part of it all is that they don\u2019t exist today. This book brings them back to life.”<\/p>\n

A hardcover limited-edition signed by Pete and author Mark Wilkerson<\/strong> is available only through thirdmanbooks.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
