Kiss The Rules Goodbye.

ComedyMusic

In 1978, a Kiss concert was an epoch-making event. For the three teen fans in Detroit Rock City getting tickets to the sold-out show becomes the focal point of their existence. They'll do anything for tickets -- compete in a strip club's amateur-night contest, take on religious protesters, even rob a convenience store!

VIBE

A wild, drug-fueled, and often absurd ride through 70s fandom. This film captures the desperate, hilarious lengths teens will go to for their idols, with a soundtrack that makes you want to crank the volume.
