Great Music - Great Film, July 19 2004
This review is from: Prey for Rock & Roll (DVD)
Gina Gerhson absolutely incredible. Do you remember the first time you heard (take your pick) Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, The Ramones, Patti Smith, White Stripes.......well, here it is again - that same feeling - rock and roll guts.....so it doesn't matter what the other reviewers say...this one has it and the only way you will really know is if you listen to it yourself. If you like real rock and roll, real intensity, no holds barred.....get it.
The band - actually playing (versus the movie band) is Gina Gershon vocals, Gina Volpe guitar piano backup vocals, Cheri Lovedog guitar, Sara Lee bass, Samantha Maloney drums (on all songs except Studiostar). Studiostar was done by Gina Gershon, Linda Perry, and Patty Schemel. All songs were written by Cheri Lovedog (with help from Grace Chapman on Every Six Minutes and Stephen Trask on Bitter Pill).....except Studiostar, which was written by Gina Gershon and Linda Perry.
The band in the movie is Gina Gershon (Jackie) vocals & guitar, Lori Petty (Faith) lead guitar, Shelley Cole (Sally) drums, and Drea de Matteo (Tracy) bass.
At least this is the info on the CD linear notes and on the web movie sites. If the truth is different, it doesn't seem to be out there yet.

PREY FOR ROCKK AND ROLL is one of my favorte movies. It's funny, sexy, inspiring and exiting. Gina Gershon is wonderful as an old blown out bitter rocker chick. Her band Clam Dandy consists of Tracy ( Drea de Mateo) a druged out bassist who is described as a "beautiful mess" who's boyfriend Nick ( Evan Martin) becomes trouble for the band. Then comes Sally ( Sally Cole) the 23 year old innocent lesbien drum player who's brother is an ex murderer named Animal ( the very sweet Mark Blucas) he becomes the love interest. Last but not least is Faith ( Lori Petty), Sally's partner and a " guitar god by night, guitar teacher by day" Lori provides the humar and heart of the cast, and the easy standout. She deserved more screen time and credit for her performance. The band has good chemestry and all the actors turn in good performances. The scripts has many twists and turns which helps the film with the exeption of the twist envolving Faith in the last fifteen minutes of the movie ( I won't give it away) seems pointless and disapointing, but it doesn't take anything away from the the rest of the movie so that's good. Prey... is a great movie and its a shame it didn't get around to more viewers when it first came out, but nows your chance. Go out and get this movie!!!!!!!!!! Trust me you won't regret it.
