Little Steven & Bruce Add Their Voices To New Doc

Written By Mike Greenblatt
, If These Walls Could Rock

A documentary film about the scandalous Sunset Marquis Hotel, If These Walls Could Rock, opens August 14. For a time, it was Rock Star Central, filled with drugs, sex and rock’n’roll by the biggest names in the business:  Bruce, Little Steven, Sheryl Crow, Morrissey, Ringo, Billy Bob Thornton, Slash, Dave Grohl, Cyndi Lauper, Roger Daltrey, Julian Lennon, John Oates, Nile Rodgers, Darius Rucker, Gene Simmons, Nancy Wilson and many more. 

For six decades, this West Hollywood hideaway has escaped further looks into its den of iniquity until now. Directors Tyler Measom and Craig A. Williams have torn the cover off a story that bleeds to be heard. Between the rare archival footage, animation and candid interviews a portrait emerges of the father-son owners who transformed a one-time sleepy motel into “one of the most iconic destinations in music history.” 

Available on Apple & Amazon Aug 14.
