Russ Meyer's story of an all girl rock band's rise to fame under the direction of their transexual manager. A typically brash style is brought to this, Russ Meyer's biggest budget movie, and self-parody is weaved with melodrama to make a great romp spiked with dope, sex and thrills! Watch.

1950, rural Alabama; times are hard for 'The Honeydripper' a club where traditional blues music doesn't pull the crowds, the young cotton pickers and army boys prefering a rival bar with its juke-box, but help may arrive in the help of handsome young Sonny, his electric guitar and rock'n'roll. A lovely piece of independent cinema from the maestro John Sayles; a movie about myth, about family, about change and, above all, about music.
