The HOLLYWOOD VAMPIRES documentary "Unleashed Spirits: The Rise Of The Hollywood Vampires" will receive its world premiere at next month's 42nd annual Boston Film Festival, which which runs from September 17 to September 21.
Directed by Daniel E. Catullo III, "Unleashed Spirits: The Rise Of The Hollywood Vampires" was previously described in a press release as "an exhilarating and heartfelt film that takes viewers on a captivating journey through the formation of HOLLYWOOD VAMPIRES and the profound impact they've had on their devoted fan base."
Named for a pack of famous musicians that legendary rocker Alice Cooper used to drink with in the early 1970s, including John Lennon and Keith Moon, HOLLYWOOD VAMPIRES also includes producer and songwriter Tommy Henriksen.
Cooper, Perry and Henriksen are set to appear at the Boston Film Festival to discuss the event's opening-night premiere. Catullo will also attend.
"Unleashed Spirits: The Rise Of The Hollywood Vampires" is about friendship: the unlikely bond between artists from very different worlds who discovered a shared sanctuary in music. It explores what happens when people who have spent much of their lives surrounded by fame find a place where none of that matters. Onstage, they aren't an iconic shock-rock pioneer, one of the world's most recognizable actors, one of the greatest guitarists of his generation, and a renowned musician and producer. They are simply bandmates.
World-premiere screening tickets and VIP tickets, including an opening night after-party, are available at this location.
The three legends first came together to record in 2015, bonding over a shared love of their favorite songs and a desire to celebrate their "dead, drunk friends" by playing the songs of the fallen heroes. Riotous performances ensued around the world.
In 2019, HOLLYWOOD VAMPIRES — which also includes Cooper's drummer Glen Sobel and bassist Chris Wyse — completed a triumphant seven-city North American tour which included a sell-out show at the famous Greek Theatre in Los Angeles and were voted the "best performance" of 2018 at London's Wembley Arena.
HOLLYWOOD VAMPIRES' sophomore album "Rise", produced by Tommy Henriksen and the HOLLYWOOD VAMPIRES, was hailed as one of the purest, most unapologetic and enjoyable rock and roll albums of 2019, made by masters of the craft and true fans of the form. Unlike their 2015 debut record, the latest album consisted mainly of original material, written by the band. There are however, in the spirit of the VAMPIRES' original mission, three covers of songs originally written and recorded by legendary rockers who died far too young.
HOLLYWOOD VAMPIRES released their first live album, "Live In Rio", in June 2023 via earMUSIC. The LP was recorded when the HOLLYWOOD VAMPIRES played their biggest and most legendary gig in front of more than 100,000 fans at the Rock In Rio festival in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil in September 2015.
