SCENESTERS: MUSIC, MAYHEM AND MELROSE AVENUE (1985-90) 2017 / NR Written & Directed by: Desi Benjamin
The ultimate Rock Doc! Made by show promoter-turned filmmaker, DESI BENJAMIN, one of the most integral, entrepreneurial people to come from that scene. What set Desi apart from most promoters back then, was that he started booking shows before he was 18 years of age. He was also in Penelope Spheeris’ venerated rock doc, “The Decline of Western Civilization, Part 2″. He helped cultivate and promote a scene that spawned such groups as GUNS ‘N ROSES, JETBOY, JUNKYARD, JANE’S ADDICTION, THE RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, MOTORCYCLE BOY, FASTER PUSSYCAT, THE NYMPHS, CELEBRITY SKIN, and many more ultra cool, genre-defining bands. Benjamin interviews a cavalcade of Hollywood scene stars, and really gathers the cream of the crop for the real stories about who ran the scene, who created the looks, and who called the shots on the Sunset Strip as well as the back alleys of Hollywood. Watch it on Amazon Prime Video or buy it on iTunes. It’s a must have addition to any collector of rock and roll films. CLICK HERE TO GRAB A DVD OR VIEW ONLINE:
