The Story So Far... |
|
"1977" is the
story of Bud, Jeff, Lorraine and Robyn, four friends
trying to become rock 'n' roll stars in the late 70s, but somehow
always missing their target. Together they find
the road to fame and fortune littered with it's fair
share of obstacles. From sexist bar owners, to
dealing with their own families, the 1977 gang faces
every day challenges in their never-ending quest to
a Gold record!
Depending on
part-time day jobs to help pay the bills, our
quartet
strides calmly day-to-day hoping that this weekend's
gig will finally bring them the big break they've
been hoping for. If not, there's always
something good on TV.
Tag along as they find out how to
take life one toke at a time. |
