Going to need details on this @Jett129

@GraemeE

I’ll let @Jett129 fill you in on the rest

[Jett129]

@GraemeE The movie was called Times Square and it was supposed to be the rock n roll/punk/new wave answer to Saturday Night Fever. i t was produced by Robert Stigwood of Saturday Night Fever. It’s about 2 girls who meet in a psych ward at a hospital and run away together,eventually getting a band and playing a concert in Time Square. They decided to use real musicians to pretend to be actors instead of actors pretending to be musicians. I got cast as the drummer after someone saw me playing with my band Sorrows at Max’s Kansas City. Tim Currie was in the movie coming off his success in Rocky Horror. The movie tanked,but has since gotten somewhat of a cult following as it shows Times Square before it was cleaned up. The soundtrack was pretty cool as well.

@GraemeE I’m the guy with his hands in the air.

@Jett129 hopefully you take this as a compliment but I'm picking up on some serious Johnny Thunders/Heartbreakers vibes

[Matt]

I thought that was you!!!!!

Sike, I haven’t seen it. Should I watch it?

[Jett129]

@GraemeE Are you kidding, loved,loved,loved The Heartbreakers. Especially the original lineup with Richard Hell. Can’t tell you how many times I saw them at CBGB,usually with The Ramones.

@Matt If you find it you might get a kick out of it.

I was hoping this would happen at some point

@goosehd thank you?

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard are tearing it up with their next album from the sounds of it:

(For those that don’t know, KG&tLW have made something like 15 albums at this point in half that many years, ranging across genres. Seems they’ve decided it’s time for them to go heavy.)

@EdH i already love King Gizz, but holy shit this is really exciting stuff. I really liked their take on metal/thrash on Infest the Rats Nest, but it sounds like they’ve gone full steam on this next one. Stoked!
