True Story, one time I helped my best friends band load in for a gig at a tattoo shop in downtown Greensboro, NC and had to carry everything up a flight of stairs that would rival a Egyptian pyramid. For them to play 30 minutes and then carry it back out. Even saw a hot chick doing a suspension show during the gig. If you have ever done something similar for a friend or are in a band yourself, then this is a must watch. Not for the glory and money that comes with being in a small band, but the dives and sketchy as hell bars you have to play at.
This is the story of a small, punk band just trying to make it from show to show, when they finally land a paying gig. But it just happens to be at a skinhead headquarters. The band winds up seeing something they shouldn't and that's where the story really starts. The cast includes Anton Yelchen, of the new Star Trek films, and Patrick Stewart as one of the most down to earth and scary individuals to ever grace a screen. He's not over the top terrifying, but just the way he plays the character. Like I said anyone who has ever been in a band or around one should check this out. What happens in this doesn't happen all the time when bands play, but it's something to think about.
