Product Details
Forget fame and fortune, some bands work their fingers to the bone just for a shot to play. WORKING CLASS ROCK STAR goes beyond the glamour of the major labels to capture the artists who slave--and many times, thrive--below the radar, releasing their own albums and hammering out shows in small clubs across the nation. This gritty, vibrant documentary features members of GWAR, Lamb of God, Arch Enemy, and many others discussing the ups and downs of playing for a living.
The music industry is changing, record sales are down, artists are making less money, and mediocrity holds sway. Yet there are more bands than ever before working for years just to receive even the tiniest drop of success. This documentary follows the lives and careers of Tub Ring, Bloodshoteye, and 3 Mile Scream, with supporting interviews from major players in the music scene. Sheds light on why some bands never make it and why the ones that break realize only too soon that life on a label is only the beginning of their troubles.
