40 Nights of Rock & Roll

Lately, I’ve been up to a lot of no good.  Evaluating some principles, eating a lot of pizza, and practicing amazingly good dental hygiene.   In short, I seem to cause a lot of trouble – which is a deliriously good thing.

However, an old acquaintance of mine has been far more productive by starting a project called “40 Nights of Rock & Roll.” In short, they will be taking the road trip we have all dreamed of doing.  From their site, they describe it as:

Renowned rock journalist Steve LaBate and filmmaker Scott Sloan team up to bring you the most ambitous and brutal rock documentary ever made, “40 Nights of Rock & Roll – a Fearless Journey Through the Dark Heart of Rock & Roll Music on the Road in The United States of America”

We will be driving to 40 different cities in 40 consecutive days to see and interview 40 different bands.

This is not going to be easy.

Rock and Roll has come a long way from just being a style of sound, it’s a lifestyle that has gone through several changes and reformations through the decades.  In the end, it was always supposed to be about the music.  And that’s just what this film is going to be: all about the music.

And they’re local filmmakers.  What’s not to love?

As with any crazy ass project, they will need some cash in order to make it happen.  Through Kickstarter.com, they’ve been able to raise the intial $3K to take care of the trip.  However, thanks to an anticipated spike in gas prices and the usual legal rimjob a lot of artistic projects get, they’d like to raise a bit more.
