ANVIL!

Hello everybody, It's Olivia here,

Considering this is a blog based on working in the music industry, I have decided to share with you my views on a heavy metal band named Anvil. Last night I watched the film "Anvil! The story of Anvil" which is a documentary film about a band which was quite big in the 80s, but instead of reaching worldwide fame with the likes of Metallica, they faded into oblivion, and this film follows them on a mission to make one last attempt at breaking onto the scene now that they are in their 50's.

The film gives a good insight into how tough the music business really is, and how people actually spend their whole lives trying to pursue dreams which don't always come to anything. I am currently trying to contact members of the band to see if they will have a chat with me, but i'm not sure how easy that is going to be now that they have made a name for themselves again.

Anyway, even if you are not into heavy metal music, i would suggest checking out the film, it's a real eye-opener, but with some compassionate moments, you really feel for the lead singer, Lips. I'll update if i get anywhere with the interview.

Thanks, keep on rocking in the free world

Olivia
