Let down your hair and head bang your heart out when Anvil rock up at Curzon Soho. The (almost) legendary band will answer your questions after a special preview screening of the new documentary following their attempts at a comeback.
ANVIL! THE STORY OF ANVIL chronicles the journey of Toronto school friends Steve "Lips" Kudlow and Robb Reiner after they made a pact to rock together forever. Their band, Anvil, went on to become the "demigods of Canadian metal," releasing one of the heaviest albums in metal history, 1982's Metal on Metal. The album influenced a musical generation, including Metallica, Slayer, and Anthrax, that went on to sell millions of records. But Anvil's career took a different path - straight to obscurity. Director Sacha Gervasi has concocted a wonderful and often hilarious account of Anvil's last-ditch quest for elusive fame and fortune. His ingenious filmmaking may first lead you to think this a mockumentary, but it isn't. Sundance Film Festival"The best documentary I've seen in years!" Michael Moore
