The Story of Anvil documentary revives the career of influential Canadian heavy metal band – Michael Moore and Brad Pitt now fans
March 26, 2009 by Richard Budman ·
Thirty five years in-the-making hard rock success story Anvil was honored and performed during Canadian Music Week in Toronto. Steve “Lips” Kudlow, Robb Reiner, and Glenn Five were inducted into the Canadian Indies Hall of Fame.
Anvil was presented the honour on stage at CMW by Bif Naked. Bif spent a few minutes talking about the upcoming buzzed about documentary on the band set to premiere in theatres during April. “The Story of Anvil”, said Bif, “has made David Byrne, Michael Moore and Brad Pitt fans of the band.”
The documentary has been getting some great reviews:
The Los Angeles Times called the film an “alternatively moving and hilarious love story,” a Wall Street Journal blogger said it was the only movie screened at Sundance in 2008 that brought him to tears, and British newspaper the Guardian described the film as “charming, touching and very funny.” – CANADIAN PRESS
The Story of Anvil opens up in select city theatres during April, 2009.
