Well, only 27 years after it was made, one of my favorite lame "punk rock" movies is finally out on dvd. "Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains" is coming out Sept. 19th.
If you've never seen it, it's about a girl punk rock band, fronted by a very young Diane Lane, and Laura Dern. They get very popular, and get thrown on a tour with The Looters, who is comprised of some actor as the singer, and Steve Jones and Paul Cook of the Sex Pistols/Professionals on guitar and drums and Paul Simonon of the Clash on bass. They're both support bands for a "Kiss"-type band fronted by Fee Waybill of the Tubes.
The girl band gets a much bigger response on the tour and end up headlining. This movie was obviously written by someone who was in a shitty punk rock band and thought they should have been bigger than they were.
It's definitely worth checking out, if only for the "live" footage of the bands.
5 stars
Whew! I'm actually in a GOOD mood after writing a movie blog! haha!
