"This is rock n roll...study it."The Leningrad Cowboys are told to try making it in America, so off they set. Their manager gets them an audition in New York, and the promoter gives them a job at his cousins wedding in Mexico. Their only problem is how to get there. Once they've spent all their money on a second hand Cadillac they have to find bars to play on their journey down through the US to Mexico.
The manager lives the life of Riley as the band suffers for their art, all with an admiral stoicism and much black humour. If you get into the grove of this its a wonderfully entertaining 90 minutes, otherwise I'm sure you will come out of this baffled! As much a love song to America as it is a comedy.
