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.

Divine Weeks released one more full length album on First Warning Records called Never Get Used To It released in September 1991.

Bill has released five solo records.

Bill explains his motivation for 33 Days: “When we left on that first tour, we set out to have our own Kerouac ‘On The Road’ experience, and that spirit was running through me as I was journaling that whole time. When I finally got around to writing 33 Days my motive was to write a book you’d go searching for after finishing ‘On The Road’ and wanted more journeys that go off the map. In the end, it’s a book about liberation, the perils of sitting on your dreams. It’s about giving yourself the gift of opportunity and defining your own idea of success. And ultimately, it’s about redemption and reclaiming the original spark for why you create. Who's it for? It’s for anybody who ever stood at their own crossroads with a dream screaming inside wondering whether to choose the road that goes off the map or fold up their tent and head back home.”

33 days by Bill See is the fascinating account of what turns out to be a life-changing tour by the young, hungry rock group Divine Weeks, who get into their van in search of fame. Dave, George, Raj and Bill, organized by Ian, yo-yo between small gigs and packed venues. One moment they are doing TV and radio interviews, the next they are literally begging for food. There are highs and lows, good times and bad. They meet some great people but also brush shoulders with the sleazy side of life. They give their all on the stage. Sleeping on floors or in the van, the band does what it takes to achieve this ambition of getting out there and being necessary, being relevant. Sure, there's drinking, drugs and groupies, but the overriding note of this book is triumph and achievement.

Along the way someone asks them what happens if the tour is a flop. The author replies: “We’re more concerned with what happens if we don’t try.” This is a book about going for it and giving it your all. It’s written in diary format that cleverly weaves in flashbacks to childhood and reflects on moments in the author’s difficult relationship with on-off girlfriend Mary. It’s not just an account of a road trip but of a spiritual journey. For Bill See, the tour was about “deliverance, redemption and transcendence.” Things would never be quite the same again. This book does contain adult language and scenes.
