	Rock Bottom Remainders - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Rock Bottom Remainders is a rock and roll band consisting of published writers, most of them both amateur musicians and popular English-language book, magazine, and newspaper authors.
		The Remainders were founded by Kathi Kamen Goldmark in the early 1990s.
		The Remainders' first performance was in 1992 at the American Booksellers Association convention in Anaheim, CA.

	Best-selling authors play out rock 'n' roll fantasies with their own band
		So many of the authors she escorted on book tours through the Bay Area seemed to harbor rock star fantasies that she thought she would unveil such a group at that year's national convention of independent booksellers held, appropriately, in the shadow of Disneyland.
		There was a Remainders rock video, a Remainders CD ("Stranger Than Fiction"), a Remainders book ("Mid-Life Confidential: The Rock Bottom Remainders Tour America With Three Chords and an Attitude").
		Most of the accouterments of rock stardom have now come the Remainders' way, even occasional pieces of girly underthings thrown to them on stage, although Remainders' sources reveal that the pitchers of bikinis, bras and thongs are paid to perform that form of idolatry.

		The results were toe-tappingly pleasant, though no one could accuse the Remainders of serious performance aspirations (a band whose CDs are distributed by Don't Quit Your Day Job Records clearly is in on all the jokes you otherwise might tell behind its members' backs).
		The Rock Bottom Remainders are to rock music what the off-Broadway Reduced Shakespeare Company is to the bard's canon - a bunch of gleefully misanthropic interpreters.
		The Remainders often seemed surprised when a song actually began or ended, but their joy and informality were contagious.
