Fanny: The Right To Rock Canadian Premiere Mon 17 Jan on Crave
Sometime in the 1960s, in sunny Sacramento, two Filipina-American sisters got together with other teenage girls to play music. Little did they know their garage band would evolve into the legendary rock group Fanny, the first all-women band to release an LP with a major record label (Warner/Reprise, 1970).
Despite releasing five critically-acclaimed albums over five years, touring with famed bands from SLADE to CHICAGO, and amassing a dedicated fan base of music legends including David Bowie, Fanny’s groundbreaking impact in music was written out of history, until the bandmates decided to reunite 50 years later, with a new record deal.
Following its premiere earlier this year at the 2021 Hot Docs Festival, FANNY: THE RIGHT TO ROCK includes incredible archival footage of the band’s rocking past, intercut with its next chapter releasing a new LP, and interviews with a large cadre of music icons, including: Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott; Bonnie Raitt; The Go-Go’s Kathy Valentine; Todd Rundgren; The Runaways’ Cherie Currie; Lovin’ Spoonful’s John Sebastian; The B52’s Kate Pierson; and Charles Neville and David Bowie guitarist and bassist Earl Slick and Gail Ann Dorsey.
Airdate: Monday 17 January 2022 on Crave.
