How long would you wait for your big break? And if you knew it would never come unless you took drastic measures like, say, becoming a vampire, would you? Do sex and drugs really make rock ‘n roll? According to Rob Stefaniuk’s tongue-in-cheek film, rock music is nothing without some kind of drug or in this case, blood, to get the audience’s attention.
Rob Stefaniuk plays Joey, songwriter and leader of a band that has been working the club circuit for too long with too little success; even their sleazy manager (played by the always effortless Dave Foley) fires himself, and the bass player (Jessica Paré) decides to become a vampire to spruce up the act. As she makes the band’s roadie clean up the bodies and converts the other band members, Joey contemplates how far he will go for success. Recruiting such musicians as Alice Cooper, Moby and Iggy Pop, Stefaniuk takes a highly amusing look at the hard road of the hard working rock band.
