- Synopsis:
What's the best thing about being on tour with a rock band? The travel? Gets tiresome...The money? What money...The girls? Now we're talking. Hey! Especially those dream-girls of the rock scene known as 'Groupies'. And here they are, zits and all, hustling their way from sleazy club to sleazier hotel room, in search of pills, thrills and gossip. There's a wicked role reversal at work here, as the best of sixties British rock musicians are 'head' hunted by a hoard of outlandish, outspoken man-eaters...not that any of them are complaining. What is in it for these wild women?? Simple...They get to smoke the best dope, f**k the prettiest boys and fly in the tour plane. And no worries... they even carry their own supply of penicillin. Competition is fierce. The bigger the star the higher the score. Weird tales abound. The runaway schoolgirl who's distraught parents are gradually closing in. The boy groupie beaten up and brokenhearted over his love for Terry Reid, and the most unusual collection of plaster cast momentous you could imagine. This is the real thing. Made in the late sixties 'Groupies' is the ultimate expose of back-stage shenadigans. Laced with plenty of live footage from various gigs, including the Whisky A Go Go and the Filmores East and West, 'Groupies' includes performances by Terry Reid, Spooky Tooth, Ten Years After and Joe Cocker. This is Rock 'n' roll. - Actors:
