WAXING THE SUNS U N S T R U C K(2008’s BIGGEST BLOCKBUSTER!!!)99% of bands don’t achieve a careless whisper of the success that they set out to achieve. Most give up early on. But what happens to the bands that don’t give up?Old women groupies, personality disorders, dog fondling, infighting, drug love, hearing loss … and well, music.Waxing The Sun is probably the most spectacularly unknown band in the history of modern pop music. For ten years they lived the dream – quite literally. In 1987 they played their first gig to a handful of old women and children in a suburban park – they thought they were at Woodstock! The band went on to perform at school halls, hospital Christmas parties, seedy pubs, seedier nightclubs, theatre productions, and the odd children’s party. Waxing The Sun also recorded over one hundred songs and had nearly as many line-up changes.Mark Luffman, esteemed UK music journalist and avid music fan, managed to track down and interview nearly all of the members of the band and their long suffering manager. He was also able to persuade Adrian Rosenfeldt, the founding member and Don Quixote of the band, to open up his closely guarded collection of performance footage, priceless? memorabilia and film clips - some of the most lo-budget clips you will ever see!Come and hear and see for yourself just what went on during the ten-year reign of Waxing The Sun.If you’ve ever followed a dream that has a tenuous grasp on reality, this is a film for you!SUNSTRUCK WILL BE SCREENING FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY!!!
