Prey for Rock & Roll

Director: Alex Steyermark

U.S.A.| 2003. Colour. Dolby digital stereo. 104 min.


Directed by Alex Steyermark and based on the autobiographical musical by Cheri Lovedog, Prey for Rock & Roll is the warts-and-all story of an all-women band doing the best they can while trying to make it in the music biz. Gina Gershon (Bound) gives a standout performance as bisexual singer Jacki, approaching her fortieth birthday and wondering how long she can keep trying to make a living from the music she loves. With strong supporting performances from Lori Petty (Tank Girl) as guitarist Faith, Shelly Cole (The Brady Bunch Movie) as Faith’s lover Sally, and Drea de Matteo from The Sopranos as strung-out bassist Tracy, this is not a film for the fainthearted. Just as the tantalising promise of a deal comes within reach, the women’s lives are brutally disrupted by rape and murder.
