Sinopsis

In this documentary from director Justin Mitchell, the world of the U.S. indie-music scene of the 1980s and '90s is explored, specifically with regard to how it transcended clichés about where music was heading in that era. Taking its title from renowned independent cinema pioneer John Cassavetes, the black-and-white film takes a peek at several fringe bands of the period, including Sleater-Kinney, the Make-up, and the Hi-Fives, and their various attitudes toward the ever-changing business.

A Band Called Death
Antes de Bad Brains, los Sex Pistols o incluso The Ramones, había una banda llamada Death. El punk antes de que existiera el punk, tres hermanos adolescentes a principios de los años 70 formaron una banda, comenzaron a tocar algunos en conciertos locales e incluso hicieron un single con la esperanza de firmar un contrato. Pero esta fue la época del Motown y la emergente música disco. Las compañías discográficas encontraron la música y el nombre de la banda demasiado intimidantes, y al grupo nunca se le dio una oportunidad justa, se separaron antes de poder completar un álbum. Electrizante documental de rock y épica historia de amor de la familia a partes iguales, A Band Called Death narra el increíble viaje de cuento de hadas de lo que pasó casi tres décadas más tarde, cuando una polvorienta demo de 1974 consiguió salir de la buhardilla y encontró un público varias generaciones más jóvenes.

Over a decade in the making, Swagger of Thieves follows rock band Head Like a Hole from the top of the charts to the bottom of a needle. Staring down their age, two pals and the main guts of HLAH, frontman Nigel Booga Beazley and 'co- conspirator' Nigel Regan strut the hard road out of hell, fighting to reconnect and return their band to past glory, amidst disgruntled band mates, a changed music industry, and disappointed wives. Struggling to place past addictions and sabotaged dreams behind them in their continuing quest for rock music relevance, the ever-collapsing binary stars of any Head Like a Hole lineup, are certain (not) to polish their legacy here. Swagger of Thieves captures what it means to be in a band with a reputation. Unrelentingly raw, wild and honest, to the point of being one of the most insightful music documentaries ever made.
