Wait until the music's over is a story of love, secrets, regrets, what-ifs and of course... music! The story begins in 1990, when Angie Pacifico, a young film student, and wannabe screenwriter, moves from Idaho to the Emerald City. She meets a young woman, apparently very different from her, who turns her life around completely. Angie finds herself right in the middle of the newest, craziest, most interesting and most diverse music scene of the time. Her life intertwines on different levels with the story of various bands of the local grunge scene, with Pearl Jam being the main focus.

1990, the year The Stone Roses dominate the world and also the year that six friends, who have all grown up together on a scummy council estate in Manchester, finally get to leave their schools and begin the rest of their lives as free-spirited adolescents. A bad-mouthed lad and his junkie older brother, a pretty-boy who plays the guitar, a self-confessed sex addict, a lost soul and a girly-girl: at the age of eighteen, their future is in their palms. But as realisation that things might not be as good as first seems soon hits them hard, their friendships are tested to the limit in a series of laughs, tears, betrayal and bad decisions. And would there be any place better than Spike Island for it all to happen? /// "It's close to the new year, and people's spirits couldn't be any higher. That was, of corse, because they were off their tits on ecstasy." ~ Tess
