DESERT AGE: A ROCK AND ROLL SCENE HISTORY
FRIDAY, APRIL 15 at 8 PM
“DESERT AGE” is a feature-length documentary
chronicling the local California desert rock and roll scene from the late 1970s to the early 1990s.
In the early 1980’s, growing in a similar yet geographically separate way to
the “grunge” movement in Seattle, was a new and lesser known genre of music
known as “desert rock.” It was a catch-all style that ultimately evolved from
jam-band generator parties that took place in remote desert locations outside
of Palm Springs, CA. “Desert Age” traces the complete historical lineage of the
people, places and bands that shaped that scene and genre to this day. The
film is comprised of exclusive interviews, private photos and home videos that
offer in-depth access to a scene that has remained insulated and undocumented
until now.
