Interested in the grass-roots, do-it-yourself music/video underground aesthetic. Homemade rock and roll. Rock and roll lore. The vast wasteland/ghost town of unknown genius bands and fascinating rock and roll stories that have existed in the past, that exist now, and that will continue to exist anonymously in the future.
I'd like to meet unknown rural punk rockers all over the U.S. of A. and beyond.Here's Act One (the first 9 minutes) of "Rural Rock & Roll" (broadcast on youtube)...
Buffy Swayze, Candy Muscle, Dragged by Horses, Eureka Garbage Co., J.P.G., Lowlights, Que la Chinga, Trash & Roll, The Blue Dot, The Great Salvation, The Hitch, The Ian Fays, The Monster Women, The Ravens, The Smashed Glass, The Broken Hearts.And all the local bands from the past that inspired this documentary: Puddletown Tom, The Cutters, The Sin Men, The Foster Kids, Audio Wreck, Hadie's Drug Gun, Crimewave!, Mexico, Laxton's Superb, The Letdowns, Automatic Pink, Drown 11, H.O.M.O., Fearless, The Hideous, Relapse, Jacoby Whorehouse, etc., to name a few...
Of course, this movie, "Rural Rock and Roll," is the one we're touting here, but a shout out goes out to some movies that influenced "RRR"...Gimme Shelter, The Fuse!, Watch Me Jumpstart, Woodstock, Fearless Freaks, Heavy Metal Parking Lot, Neil Diamond Parking Lot, Orick, CA, U.S.A., Steve and Jensen's Universe, In Search of the Famous Hoosier Breaded Pork Tenderloin Sandwich, The Ugliest Fountain in the World (Without a Doubt), to name a few.
"Rural Rock and Roll" will hopefully be a show on television soon. It's gonna knock music television on it's ass. Imagine tuning in each week to see what people are up to in Athens, GA or Boise, ID or Lexington, KY or Lawrence, KS or Lacrosse, WI or even far off towns in Canada or Mexico. If we can get this god-damned show green lit, it's gonna be badass. And that's a guarantee straight from the mouth of Johnny Render.
