We Are Twisted Fucking Sister!
Andrew Horn, 136 min, Germany, USA.Some considered Twisted Sister a joke, others called them the greatest bar band in the world. While Punk/New Wave took over NYC, Twisted Sister was battling their way to the top of a working class, suburban, cover-band bar scene - surrounding NY, yet existing in a parallel world. At its peak were monster clubs, packing in audiences of up to 3 - 5000 a night - both a great living and a dead end, offering little future outside the suburban enclave. That Twisted Sister would break out into multi-platinum stardom is well known, but this is no fable of fame and success, no litany of celebrity tributes and fanboy adulation. Rather a smart, savvy and wickedly funny story of a 10 year odyssey to overnight success.
