Synopsis |
|
This is the story of an all-girl
rock quartet, Clamdandy (Gershon,
Petty, Cole and de Matteo), trying
to break out of obscurity on the Los
Angeles scene, even as the realities
of the music business (and the ages
of the two older members) bear down
on them, and their own personal
problems also pose serious barriers
to the success of the band... as an
opportunity to open for a legendary
punk group (X) arises, which could
finally be the big chance they've
been waiting for, if they can
overcome their obstacles to actually
do it. Specifically, Clamdandy is
led by guitarist/lead singer Jacki (Gershon),
who is two days shy of her 40th
birthday as the movie starts, which
leads her to question whether it's
time to quit the rock star dream and
just concentrate on her tattoo
parlor. Providing Jacki with her
core support are lesbian lovers
Faith (Petty) (lead guitar) and
Sally (Cole) (drums), both of whom
face adversity as the story unfolds.
Meanwhile, providing more problems
for the group is bassist Tracy (de
Matteo), a spoiled trust fund brat
who spends her money on her
debilitating addictions to alcohol
and heroin. Added to the mix are
Sally's brother, Animal (Blucas),
who is recently released from prison
and Tracy's erratic boyfriend, Ivan
(Martin). |
