Between songs are new interviews with the original band members (Phil May, Dick Taylor, John Stax, Skip Alan, Wally Waller and Jon Povey) telling stories and recounting the fascinating, tumultuous and controversial history of the band. This film is the only documentary ever to focus on The Pretty Things, one of the most influential yet unsung rock groups in history. After the screening will be a panel discussion and Q&A with the producers David Peck, Tom Gulotta, Phil Galloway and Rob Bowman and music historian Bart Mendoza.<br/><br/><br/>“One of the greatest R&B bands of all time” <br/>VAN MORRISON<br/><br/>“The Pretty Things always made The Stones look tame.”<br/>DAVE GILMOUR - “PINK FLOYD”<br/><br/>“The Pretty Things were the biggest influence on us. They were so wild…. they invented garage bands.” <br/>JOEY RAMONE - “THE RAMONES’<br/><br/>“The Beatles” were cute, “The Stones” were students, but “The Pretty Things” were plain frightening…”<br/>THE LATE GREAT JOHN PEEL<br/><br/> “The Pretty Things completely bent my head.”<br/>NOEL GALLAGHER<br/><br/>Egyptian Theatre<br/>6712 Hollywood Boulevard<br/>Hollywood, CA 90028 <br/><a class="yt-uix-redirect-link" href="http://www.americancinemathequecalendar.com/egyptian_theatre_events" rel="nofollow" title="http://www.americancinemathequecalendar.com/egyptian_theatre_events" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.americancinemathequecalendar.com/egyptian_theatre_events">http://www.americancinemathequecalendar.com/egyptian_theatre_events</a></a></p>http://originalprettythings.tumblr.com/post/25238619353http://originalprettythings.tumblr.com/post/25238619353Sat, 16 Jun 2012 14:35:54 -0400The Pretty Things<p>Mostly the original lineup as my father is John Stax, the original bass player…</p>http://originalprettythings.tumblr.com/post/25238518400http://originalprettythings.tumblr.com/post/25238518400Sat, 16 Jun 2012 14:34:06 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lq2ywoEcoE1qaze95o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Great pic of Debbie Harry & Chris Stein of Blondie with a Pretty Things record…</p>http://originalprettythings.tumblr.com/post/25230194976http://originalprettythings.tumblr.com/post/25230194976Sat, 16 Jun 2012 12:03:12 -0400The Pretty ThingsBlondieDebbie Harry<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwd4jimMQm1qioutwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>The Pretty Things - Dutch magazine article</p>http://originalprettythings.tumblr.com/post/25230028610http://originalprettythings.tumblr.com/post/25230028610Sat, 16 Jun 2012 12:00:33 -0400The Pretty Things<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvcnf9PNNE1r76vuyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Concert Poster - Guildhall Portsmouth</p> <p>Donovan/The Pretty Things</p>http://originalprettythings.tumblr.com/post/25230005239http://originalprettythings.tumblr.com/post/25230005239Sat, 16 Jun 2012 12:00:05 -0400The Pretty Things<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvwuc7DApZ1qbesnao1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Phil May</p>http://originalprettythings.tumblr.com/post/25229989245http://originalprettythings.tumblr.com/post/25229989245Sat, 16 Jun 2012 11:59:46 -0400The Pretty ThingsPhil May<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lw826qmuTs1r7koogo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>The Pretty Things</p> <p>Midnight To Six Man/Can’t Stand The Pain</p>http://originalprettythings.tumblr.com/post/25229967007http://originalprettythings.tumblr.com/post/25229967007Sat, 16 Jun 2012 11:59:20 -0400The Pretty Things<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lu5ikrOfdw1qc45ano1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>The Pretty Things</p> <p>Deflecting Grey/Mr Evasion</p>http://originalprettythings.tumblr.com/post/25229952205http://originalprettythings.tumblr.com/post/25229952205Sat, 16 Jun 2012 11:59:02 -0400The Pretty Things<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltlku1OXLZ1qioutwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Gorilla Beat Magazine Cover - The Pretty Things</p>http://originalprettythings.tumblr.com/post/25229932498http://originalprettythings.tumblr.com/post/25229932498Sat, 16 Jun 2012 11:58:39 -0400The Pretty ThingsGorilla Beat<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lrhj7drgm11qioutwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://originalprettythings.tumblr.com/post/25229908111http://originalprettythings.tumblr.com/post/25229908111Sat, 16 Jun 2012 11:58:10 -0400The Pretty Things<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lr7ugmREZf1r28h0co1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>The Pretty Things</p> <p>1.
