Clubland Summary
MPAA Rating: R
Director: Mary Lambert
Genres: Comedy Drama
Noted record producer and musician Glen_Ballard (who has collaborated with Alanis_Morissette, Dave_Matthews_Band, No Doubt, and Aerosmith) wrote this drama which offers an insider's look at the long, hard road to the top of the music business. Kennedy (Jimmy Tuckett) is the frontman of a struggling rock & roll band who have come to Los Angeles in hopes of making it big. Kennedy's brother, King (Brad_Hunt), is the band's manager, but while the group works hard, they have little to show for it, and King seems to alienate more industry bigwigs than he's won over. The members of the band are also having a hard time keeping body and soul together; they not only have to work day jobs to support themselves, but to pay clubowners, who often charge musicians for the "privilege" of playing a well-known venue. Mondo (Rodney_Eastman), the drummer, brings even more problems into the picture when he starts dealing hard drugs to earn money. Finally, the band attracts the attention of a powerful and well-known record producer, but there's a catch -- he's only interested in Kennedy, and wants him to ditch the rest of his band. Clubland also stars Lori_Petty, Heather_Stephens, and Scot James; the film also features cameo appearances from Steven_Tyler of Aerosmith and Terence Trent D'Arby. Mark Deming, Rovi
