‘Hardcore Norfolk’ Movie Screening To Rock The Pit
You are invited to the Outer Banks premiere of the new independent film documentary Hardcore Norfolk: A Story of Rock ‘n’ Roll Survival this weekend in Kill Devil Hills.
What is it about the music scene in Norfolk, Virginia, that keeps it alive? Even though it’s located off the beaten path in a transient naval town, Norfolk and its surrounding cities have been a big player in the underground rock ‘n’ roll scene since the mid-50’s.
This documentary uncovers the story of it’s “hardcore” music fans that won’t let it die—those that create fanzines, record labels and generally support the music—along with local musicians over time, including Gary U.S. Bonds, Gene Vincent, Front Line, The M-80’s, Buttsteak, and The Candy Snatchers, featuring never-seen-before-footage and local original music from a variety of genres.
