Produktbeschreibung
The "British Invasion" of pop/rock bands during the 1960's brought about a musical revolution that spread across the globe. Rock music became the soundtrack behind a decade of unparalleled political and cultural upheaval. From this environment emerged a tidal wave of new teenage bands forming in garages and basements. Four talented kids in New Jersey find each other and begin to define themselves through the music they create. A combination of raw talent, hard work, persistence and some good luck culminates in a recording contract and a tour to promote their record. But as so often happened with successful bands, interpersonal issues, egos, and conflicting love interests threaten to tear the band apart. This story follows the One-Eyed Jacks on their journey through the highest highs and the lowest lows on the road to super stardom.
