The film focuses on the legendary San Fernando Valley studio.
Dave Grohl’s much-praised Sound City, if you will, rockumentary has a public advance screening on March 9 and then opens officially on March 15 in Smithfield, Dublin’s Light House Cinema.
If you don’t live in or near the capital, fear not, because it will be available for nationwide [link]www.volta.ie[/link] streaming on March 11.
Sound City is the legendary San Fernando Valley studio used by everyone from Tom Petty and Fleetwood Mac to Metallica and Nirvana who over 16 action-packed days assembled Nevermind there.
Sadly, the analogue haven closed commercially in 2011, a victim of the new digital technology it was so resistant to.
Featuring interviews with Frank Black, Paul McCartney, Barry Mannilow, Trent Reznor, Mick Fleetwood and Lars Ulrich, to name just six, it’s an absolute must-see.
The accompanying Sound City: Real To Reel soundtrack is streaming at [link]www.npr.org/2013/03/03/172990757/first-listen-dave-grohl-friends-sound-city-real-to-reel[/link].
