WE ARE TWISTED F*CKIN' SISTER
Twisted Sister's "Stay Hungry" was the first cassette that I owned. I played that cassette front to back repeatedly. They were the first band that got me interested in music. The first time I watched "We're Not Gonna Take It" on CBC's Video Hits, my mind was blown! The audio-visual juggernaut that the band became was the inspiration for my youth. They have no idea the impact they made on a farmkid from Saskatchewan. Jay Jay French was the coolest guy on the planet. He was Fonzie to me. When kids were taking toys to school, I was trading tapes with the older kids, broadening my musical horizons.
When director Andrew Horn reached out to find someone to help him with the film website I jumped at the opportunity. I came up with the art concept and built/revised various prototypes before the final site was launched. I just loved the fact that I had a chance to see unique and unseen images/footage from the band that changed my life.
Make sure you check out the film. These guys spent years slugging it out in the clubs before they became an "overnight success". A real-life underdog story. You can get more info by clicking HERE. You can visit the band site located HERE.
