The Classic Sixties Documentary…
What's the best thing about being on tour with a rock band? The travel? Gets tiresome… The money? What money… The girls? Now we're taIking. Hey! EspeciaIly those dream-girIs of the rock scene known as Groupies. And here they are, zits and aII, hustIing their way from sleazy club to sIeazier hoteI room, in search of pills thrills and gossip.
There's a wicked role reversal at work here, as the best of sixties British rock musicians are 'head' hunted by a hoard of outlandish, outspoken, oversexed man-eaters… not that any of them are complaining. And what, exactly, is in it for these wiId women of the night? Simple… 'They get to smoke the best dope, f**k the prettiest boys and fly in the tour pIane'. And no worries… they even carry their own supply of penicillin.
Competition is fierce. The bigger the star the higher the score. Weird tales abound. There's the washed out S&M freak reminiscing about backstage flagelIation. The runaway schoolgirl who's distraught parents are gradually closing in. The boy groupie beaten up and brokenhearted over his Iove for Terry Reid, and the most unusual coIIection of pIaster cast momentos you couId imagine.
Sounds Iike the stuff of best-selling paperback fiction? Not so. This is the real thing. Made in the late sixties Groupies is the ultimate expose of back-stage shenanigans. At times hilarious, at times almost tragic, as we folIow the fortunes and diIemmas of this supremeIy hedonistic breed of rock fan on their reIentIess search for a new kind of kick.
Laced with pIenty of Iive footage from various gigs, including the Whisky A Go Go and the FiImores East & West, Groupies includes classic performances by Terry Reid, Spooky Tooth, Ten Years After and Joe Cocker. THlS lS ROCK 'N' ROLL. |
