Synopsis by Clarke Fountain
Rock video director Richard Casey makes his feature debut in this violent drama, which delves into the seamy side of the lives of some of L.A.'s wannabe musicians. In return for signing over his soul (?!), Lemmy (Phil Ward) gets the sponsorship of drug-gang leader Tanas (David Marciano), the owner of the Bar Sinister to get music gigs for his band. Having done that, instead of advancing his music career, Lemmy and his girlfriend Angel (Lyn Levand) take drugs and zone out while gang related violence breaks out on every side. The music in this film is by Drowning Pool, Love Supreme, Angry Samoans, Trotsky Icepick and Angst, among others.
