Recently Jason and I watched Anvil! The Story of Anvil which is a great documentary about a heavy metal band. I rarely watch movies, but when I do documentaries are my favorite. This will probably one of the few movies I’ll ever include in a “Thursday Hooray!” Anyway, we were really struck by how much of ourselves we saw in Anvil. The same type of things happen to so many bands and musicians, no matter what the genre. It’s really fascinating.
On a side note, we were stoked when the very popular Rue Morgue Radio included “Zombie Boogie” on a recent show – and that Anvil’s song “Metal on Metal” was on the same show! Thanks to Zombie Boogie, Mad Tea Party is starting to make our way into uncharted territories, for sure.
Thank you for recommending Anvil! The Story of Anvil! I watched it after you recommended it a few weeks ago in a Facebook post. I enjoyed it so much. Their enthusiasm was something special. I’ve been telling everyone to watch it.
Yeah, it’s very moving.
