If ever there was a movie that had the words 'tax write off' stamped all over it.
This is the good, the bad and the glam.
In a dystopian future. A young man (Peter Denyer) and his van driver Mr Rockbottom (Freddie Jones) go round looking for some bands to play on a spectacular television show.
The enemies of pop music want it banned from television and some of them try to sabotage the van which can pick up the glamwaves.
Mud are the first ones who agree to go on, they are found in a roadside cafe with some football hooligans.
Along the way they meet The Glitter Band. Thankfully without the leader of the gang who was busy with a minor diversion.
It all ends up with a spectacular rock concert which also feature The Rubettes.
In many ways this is a low budget and badly produced drivel. The horror of glam rock.
How can you mess up Tiger Feet. Well the director does. A sweaty Les Gray sings his classic while a food fight breaks out led by a man called Nosher! People are talking all over the song. They could had at least reprised it at the concert.
Then there is some silly knockabout stuff inspired by The Beatles movies and Goon type humour. This includes Peter Noone in some army training scenes. The story is as clear as mud.
Mr Rockbottom does not even like modern rock music, he prefers a brass band.
Your mileage might depend on how much nostalgia you have of 1970s glam rock. If you remember the music you would enjoy it or else it will just be pretty absurd. I did dig the music and it was nice to see the bands in their pomp.
A young Midge Ure turns up with his band Slik. Strangely the bass player has a look that Midge would copy a few years later with Ultravox.
