Ladies and Gentleman the Fabulous Stains - 3 1/2 stars out of 5 stars

Released in 1982 and running only 87 minutes this is a forgotten film that deserves to be seen if only because of that dreadful "runaways "from last year.That film may have been based on fact BUT this film should have been.A young but now well known cast some good music and the "road"rock story from a girl band POV.Worth the watch,only issue is the punk band scene is not or never was,my scene.Thus I took the 1 1/2 stars off.Trailer URL below the pix and a IMDB summary is below .

Corrine Burns retreats far into plans for her band, The Fabulous Stains, after her mother's death. So far that she gets them (she and two cousins) on a tour with a washed-out glam-rock group and a rising British punk band, radically changes her appearance, attracts a cult following and national media attention. With luck like this, what could go wrong? Written by Renee Ann Byrd <byrdie@wyrdbyrd.org>
