How fitting that\u00a02016\u00a0marks the release of the documentary film, \u201cWe Are Twisted F*cking\u00a0Sister!\u201d a documentary film by german filmmaker\u00a0Andrew Horn, which recounts the untold story\u00a0of\u00a0Twisted Sister\u2019s beginnings, at the same time that the band mounts their last ever tour,\u00a0making their final farewell to performing after\u00a040 years. As the band gears up for the big\u00a0finish, the movie shows how it all began.
Once upon a time, they were the\u00a0Grand Funk\u00a0of\u00a0Glam\u00a0and the\u00a0NY Dolls\u00a0of\u00a0Metal. Some considered\u00a0Twisted Sister\u00a0a joke, others called them the greatest bar band in the world. While the\u00a0microcosm of\u00a0Punk\/New Wave\u00a0was taking over\u00a0NYC\u00a0in the mid\u00a070s\u00a0\u2013 early\u00a080s,\u00a0Twisted Sister\u00a0was\u00a0battling their way to the top of a vast \u2013 and unique to it\u2019s time \u2013 suburban, cover-band bar\u00a0scene that surrounded\u00a0NYC\u00a0in a 100 mile radius, yet existed in a parallel universe. Guitarist,\u00a0Jay Jay French, says, \u201cthe history of\u00a0Twisted\u00a0is really our 10 years clawing our way through\u00a0the bar scene. It\u2019s who we are, and it\u2019s why we are, and why we do what we do.\u201d<\/p>\n

The film follows the band from their beginnings as a cross-dressing glam band playing 4 shows\u00a0a night, 6 nights a week in New Jersey bowling alleys and Long Island beach bars, to the\u00a0suburban mega-clubs of the late\u00a070s\/early\u00a080s, to their bust-out appearance on the UK rock TV\u00a0show, \u201cThe Tube\u201d. Through it all,\u00a0Twisted\u00a0stood ready to do or die for the sake of \u201cthe show\u201d,\u00a0giving their all to the crowd, and demanding full attention in return. They refused to play\u00a0the usual bar band role of \u201chuman juke box for drunk and horny teens\u201d \u2013 you were going to be\u00a0entertained whether you liked it or not.<\/p>\n

They regaled their audiences with comedy rants, dragging them on stage for vomit inducing\u00a0drinking games, engaging them in fits of disco record smashing and, at their most extreme,\u00a0whipping them into club-destroying frenzy. The performances were low on style and heavy on the\u00a0humour and attitude \u2013 but behind it all, always smart and full of self-awareness.\u00a0Spinal Tap\u00a0may have been clueless but\u00a0Twisted Sister\u00a0knew exactly what they were doing!<\/p>\n

If you think you know them from their hit songs, the\u00a0MTV\u00a0videos and their massive stadium\u00a0shows, this is the story of how they became that band \u2013 full of strange, and often hilarious,\u00a0twists and turns. It\u2019s about Rock \u2018n Roll and the business of Rock \u2018n Roll. It\u2019s about\u00a0perseverance and things blowing up in your face. It\u2019s about finding yourself, finding your\u00a0audience and doing literally anything, however wild, to connect with them. And even though we\u00a0know how it ends, the roller coaster ride of getting there is what it\u2019s all about. A\u00a0mesmerizing, and wickedly funny story of a 10 year odyssey to overnight success.<\/p>\n
