This looks like a great project and the kickstarter is about to end (in 24 hours) so thought I would share on here.
Since Yesterday: The Unsung Pioneers of Scottish Pop' celebrates the songs, stories and journey of Scotland's all-female bands from 1960 to 2010. This feature-length documentary seeks to explore the social impact of women making music collectively in a male-dominated industry and rightfully acknowledge their place within the history of popular music.
With over 40-hours of new footage recorded, we now need your help to push our feature length documentary ‘Since Yesterday - The Unsung Pioneers of Scottish Pop’ in to a bigger arena. This is our little country's perspective on a global issue.
There are some incredible things about a legion of undersold Scottish girl bands that might surprise you: John Peel sessions, concerts in prisons, cult followings, opening for The Beatles and The Sex Pistols, world tours, ‘handbag’ roadies, a little guitar cameo from Jimmy Page, even more John Peel sessions.
There are also things that, sadly you won't be surprised to hear; a world of sexual assault, getting fired for becoming a parent, being told you’re too old, too fat, too short, too tall or “the problem with girl bands is that you all just get pregnant in the end...”
A story is always best when it is told by the people at the heart of it; Strawberry Switchblade, The McKinleys, The Twinsets, The Ettes, Lungleg, Sophisticated Boom Boom, His Latest Flame, The Hedrons and TeenCanteen, plus many more.
