This mockumentary, hailed as “a sporadically amusing but all-too-uneven piece of work" by Reel Film Reviews and “a mediocre satire of heavy rock bands” by Spirituality and Practice Magazine, chronicles an aging metal band’s last shot at fame and glory. This mock synopsis author takes exception to this mockumentary being called a “comedy.” There is nothing funny about satire.
Join us before the movie for a live music set by Cindy Lawson.
She's sassy, she’s sexy, she's profane, and she will kick your ass. Whether it's a 60's girl group inspired ditty, or spitting punk rock infused anthem, Cindy gives it her all and then some.
Cindy Lawson began her rock and roll career in Minneapolis in 1985 with her all-female rock band, The Clams. Over the years, she has played in several bands in Minneapolis and New York City, but then took a break starting in the late 90's. She returned in full force in 2021, and in 2022 released “New Tricks”, her first full length record in 25 years on Boston’s Rum Bar Records. New Tricks got airplay both nationally (on Little Steven’s Underground Garage and on Little Steven’s Coolest Songs in the World) and internationally, garnering rave reviews in publications across the globe. In April of 2023, she released a new single and video called “Don’t Come Crying To Me” that was immediately picked for Little Steven’s Coolest Songs in the World Channel on Sirius XM. The EP "Don't Come Crying To Me" was released on November 15, 2023. Since the EP's release, the songs have been streamed more than 22,000 times according to Spotify for Artists, and the song "Don't Come Crying To Me" was chosen as Song of The Day on 89.3 The Current for January 12, 2024, in the top ten of 2023 local releases on RacketMN, listed on KFAI's list of "Best Local Releases of 2023". Two songs from the EP, "I Don't Want You Anymore" and "Screamin' White Jezus" have been in daily rotation on Stevie’s Coolest Songs station since the beginning of November 2023.
She’s backed by longtime collaborator and inventive guitarist Jerry Lefkowitz (of The Young Nashvillians, Something Fierce, Whoops Kitty, and Fauna, among others), bassist and multi-instrumentalist Dave Randall, whose rock bonafides include The Spectors, The Boot R&B, The Silent Treatment, Kinda Kinky, and many more, and on the drums is Mark Devaraj, who’s kept the beat going in bands High on Stress, Whiskey Rock and Roll Club, The Heavy Sixers, as well as dozens of other Minneapolis bands.
