(2011 / Blank Slate)

“So you want to be a rock and roll star? / Then listen now to what I say
Just get an electric guitar / Then take some time and learn how to play
And with your hair swung right / And your pants too tight, it’s gonna be all right…”
– The Byrds

Crash, pling, TWANG – the unruly sounds of a new band are slowly melded into a tight unit that can slay any audience. Well, at least in the school gym or church meeting hall. Watch as Mawil relives his experiences in search of Rock stardom – always just a fingernail out of reach. Witness as girls crowd round, the perfect sound is striven for and ‘white label’ guitars become the instruments to die for. A delightful trip through schoolday dreams, enduring friendships and the search for that golden moment of inspiration…
