SAMPLE REVIEW:
.

Scrappy documentary about a band that flew too close to the sun to make it really big.

Upstate NY’s Blotto rose from the ashes of the Star-Spangled Washboard Band and scored an unlikely hit with I Wanna Be A Lifeguard in the early 80’s --  thanks in part to getting airplay on MTV when the network launched August 1, 1981.

The film follows their struggles to land a major label deal despite huge success with touring (ex: The Blot & Blue Tour with Blue Oyster Cult) and releasing their own EPs and Albums. 

First-time director Rob Lichter (aka Bert Blotto) puts together a funny, heart-felt portrait of the musical pranksters that is sometimes heartbreaking despite all the laughs.
