Sonic Youth, Strokes, Art Brut Write for Travel Guide
Let's say you're visiting Toronto and you've done all the tourist-y stuff, but you have some extra time. At some point, you must think to yourself, "If only I knew what Tokyo Police Club do when they're in Toronto..." (Or not.)

That's exactly the line of thinking pursued by German publishers Rockbuch in a forthcoming volume called Indie Travel Guide. True to its name, Indie Travel Guide is a guidebook with info from bands about the places they frequent in the towns where they grew up or where they currently reside.

Other info on the book is scarce at the moment, but its first edition is set to hit Germany, Switzerland, and Austria this summer, with a North American release to follow at an undetermined later date.
Here's a sampling of the musicians to be included in the book, along with the cities they'll be exploring:
