About this project

Renowned rock journalist Steve LaBate and filmmaker Scott Sloan team up to bring you the most ambitous and brutal rock documentary ever made, "40 Nights of Rock & Roll - a Fearless Journey Through the Dark Heart of Rock & Roll Music on the Road in The United States of America"

Check out blog at 40nights.tumblr.com

We will be driving to 40 different cities in 40 consecutive days to see and interview 40 different bands.

This is not going to be easy.

This film requires 40 days of gas, food, and accomodations on the road. Our loose mileage calculation is over 13,000 miles and $2600. $20 a piece for food per day works out to be $1600. A cheap ass hotel room every other night @ $60 ends up being $1200 at the end of the trip. A twelve pack of beer per day equals $400. Four oil changes and two tire rotations add another $150. This does not include the equipment costs, nor wear and tear and repairs on vehicle, or any of the inevitable health & legal emergencies.

So please give a couple bucks... we need your help to reach our goal!
