Long lost rock 'n'roll D-movie classic "The
Subterraneans Show" could be available in
digital format sometime soon.
Shot on super-8 cine back in 84, "The
Subterraneans Show" includes 5 Subterraneans
songs, tenuously linked together by a plot set
in "Lewisiana, 1955". As well as rock 'n' roll,
the story includes all the necessary ingredients
of a proper 50s B-movie: cars, girls, gee-tars,
drive-ins, flying saucers, werewolves and commie
spies. There's grease in it, but Grease it ain't...
The one and only video copy of the film was lost
in the late 80s when top Edinburgh garage star
Johnny (of Johnny & The Deadbeats) left it in a
taxi while heading home in an intoxocated state.
However, director turned accountant Ken "Russ
Meyerybank" Livingstone recently rediscovered
the original super-8 reels l in a box in his
shed. And in return for some dubious financial
advice from Livingstone, Gaelic media mogul
Kenny "Fraochy" Stewart has employed his
extensive team of specialists to restore and
transfer the material into the latest digital
format at his hi tech studio facility in Back.
Or maybe Rigs Road.
Fraochy's digital master is now back with
Livingstone, so something should appear
eventually, when he gets around to editing it
all back together.
