A group of four friends (Giuseppe Andrews, Edward Furlong, James DeBello and Sam Huntington) ditch school to attend a KISS concert in Detroit...rock city.

I firmly believe that the best rock & roll is dumb rock & roll. There's an immediacy to it. The groove is hard and the emotions are raw. Everything is life and death...just like when you're in high school. Sure this film isn't Fellini and sure KISS aren't The Beatles, but so what? I love albums like Tommy, Pet Sounds and Dark Side of the Moon as much as the next guy. They are monumental works that prove what rock and roll is capable of. But when I really want to just let loose, I put on Meat Loaf, Andrew W.K. or KISS. The same goes for film. You can only watch L'avventura and Stalker so many times. Sometimes you just need to lose your mind in Detroit...Rock City.
