Bill See was the lead singer for critically acclaimed Los Angeles band Divine Weeks for the duration of the band’s lifespan from 1984-1992. Divine Weeks was signed to the Dream Syndicate’s Steve Wynn’s Down There label in 1987 and released Through & Through that May before embarking on its first national tour that summer. The journals Bill kept on tour are the source of the majority of his new book 33 Days: Touring In A Van. Sleeping On Floors. Chasing A Dream. Bill has also released five solo records. Twelve years in the making, 33 Days is actually a combination of two projects that commenced simultaneously. The first, a letter to his sister, who had been given up for adoption, describing for her his turbulent household growing up. “I was originally going to call it, ‘Hey Sis, Glad You Missed It,’ Bill says, “But that only told half the story.” The other, turning the tour journals into a readable book. “So, I had these two things that initially seemed so unrelated,” Bill explains. “Then it occurred to me, the background I’d written for my sister was actually the primary motivate for what lead to me leaving on that tour.”

“I’ve always maintained that I’m no author,” he says. “I’m just a guy in a band who was blessed with one of the most extraordinary and eye opening journeys a band at our level can have. I’ve just been trying the last 12 years to weave all these remarkable experiences into the most compelling book possible. Hopefully I’ve succeeded.” 33 Days is Bill’s first book. Bill currently lives with his daughter Maeve, girlfriend Cindy and her two children Emma and Alex in Los Angeles, California.
