About me:
"I am not saying all this is true but it is the way I remember it . . ." proclaims Anthony Brancaleone (writer/director) as he winds his audience through the real life fairytale of working bands in the blue-collar decadence of detroit. The film follows the parallel lives of several musicians, including Kid Rock and the Funky Daddy (Howling Diablos), as they gig their way to the top of the local rock scene. Using the romantic grit of the city streets, Brancaleone explores the difficulties of pursuing rock and roll dreams while considering what these impassioned artists stand to lose by following them. When the labels come looking for "the next big thing" they bring with them not only the answer to these dreams but a reminder: For every band to get "signed" there are a thousand who won't . . .
From the street to the dotted line it ain't nothin' but A DETROIT THING -
Who I'd like to meet:

"A GRITTY, EMOTIONAL and BRILLIANT documentary . . ."

Sadly 5th Avenue Billiards is closed indefinitely but I'm starting a new acoustic open mic at Royal Kubo in Clawson this Monday July 20th and every Monday evening after. Please come out and play if you're a musician or just listen to the many talented musicians that come out to perform for you! Great atmosphere there at Kubo and even better Filipino food! YUMMY! Royal Kubo is located at 27 east 14 mile rd. Clawson, MI 48017 (near the corner of Livernois Road and 14 mile, parking is in back). Starts at 8 pm - ??
