Looking for BFB/S&S/Ramallah footage

Mark Lind - 3-19-2009 at 11:22 PM

Just an FYI - there is a documentary movie being made by a local college student that looks into the life of my brother, Rob. The film maker is currently seeking any and all footage of Rob on stage with any of his bands that you may have. If you submit footage that is used then you will be credited for your contribution.

I should note that I have nothing to do with the making of this film. I'm just passing the word on so that the material can be collected. My understanding is that the movie will offer a look into Rob's life of the past few years and will contrast the real person vs what his reputation is out there on CD and in the music world. It will also address rumors, accusations and stories that you may have heard about him and will candidly address alcoholism, drug abuse and other obstacles he's dealt with along the way. I've been briefed on the concept and it sounds really interesting in so many ways.... and Rob also had NOTHING to do with this project coming to life. He was solicited by the student. Supposedly the film maker will be looking to possibly interview some listeners down the road and if all goes well then it will be screened in Boston some time around the Spring of 2010.

If you're interested then please email britegray at gmail dot com

Oh yeah... stupid question, but something I was wondering Mark.

I was listening to "Serenity" the other day and just wondering if as a kid you really played with Mikey C., did he really O.D. and was his dad really in jail?

I'm sure they would be very useful.

Can you drop a line to that email address so the person in charge can make arrangements with you?

I think that was a fictional character. I never asked Rob about it though. But I think he changed the names to protect the guilty or just used fictional characters to get a point across.

Thanks Mark... sorry that was such a dumb question. I was just curious.

We also have a younger brother so it could be a friend of his for all I know.

your young brother is a wicked good eater.






(i'm sorry, but watching that dude fuck up a lasagna pizza in the irving plaza dressing room, accompanied with your "paddy's a wicked good eata" quote is one of my all time favorite nyc memories.)

XHonusWagnerX - 3-20-2009 at 01:08 PM

lasagna pizza sounds awesome!!

When is the Lind Brother Trio record coming out? ;)

Mickey - 3-20-2009 at 02:44 PM

I'll hit this kid up. I have tons of BFB footage and Ramallah from downstairs at the ICC church(one of the most violent shows in a while). Tell Rob to be careful...I'm sure this kids sounds legit, but there's always an angle. The media lies to make a good story, and I'd hate to see him edited into something false for sales.

Mickey-
Shouldn't our "little friend" have some shit?

Mark Lind - 3-20-2009 at 04:29 PM

Mickey, I actually know the kid that's doing it. It's actually a she. And she has no interest in hardcore music aside from meeting Rob and being shocked at the difference between his reputation and what he's really like. I think this will come out pretty good. Would you be into being interviewed for it?
