DEE SNIDER Discusses TWISTED SISTER’s We Are Twisted F***ing Sister! Documentary - “I Viewed Life As A Marathon, Not A Sprint”; Video

On Monday (February 15th), Dee Snider made an appearance on KTTV’s Good Day LA morning program, where he discussed the Twisted Sister documentary, We Are Twisted F***ing Sister!. Watch the interview via the video streaming below:

The documentary opens in New York and Los Angeles on February 19th, with a one-night-only event at Chicago's Music Box Theatre on February 22nd. On February 23rd, the film will be released on DVD, Blu-ray, VOD, and digital formats in North America.

We Are Twisted F***ing Sister! was released in Europe/UK on February 12th via Monoduo Films. The film is available there on VOD (iTunes & Vimeo on Demand) and as DVD (Amazon Europe and Monoduo Films Shop).

The setting is mid-1970s New York City: five rockers decked in platform boots and dramatic make-up embarked on a heavy metal journey. Little did they know the impact they would make, and that, forty years later, they would still be renowned for their songs, one-of-a-kind live shows, and take-no-prisoners attitude.

We Are Twisted F***ing Sister! - a new 134-minute documentary film by Andrew Horn capturing that expedition from bar band to international stardom - will be presented in theaters via Music Box Films in February. The first ever documentary of the band that defined an early MTV with their no-holds-barred music videos opens in New York and Los Angeles on February 19th with a one-night-only event at Chicago’s Music Box Theatre on February 22nd. On February 23rd in North America, the film will be released on DVD, Blu-ray, VOD, and digital formats, with an included 2 hours of bonus material and director commentary.

Charging out of the gate with a lethal combination of grit and glitter, Twisted Sister (Jay Jay French, Dee Snider, Eddie Ojeda, Mark “The Animal” Mendoza, and the late A.J. Pero) established themselves as one of the staple acts of Glam Rock and Heavy Metal with anthems “We’re Not Gonna Take It” and “I Wanna Rock.” However, “the band that killed disco” was no overnight success.

Director Andrew Horn, who is known for his films East Side Story (named one of the 10 best films of the year by Time Magazine), The Nomi Song, Doomed Love, and The Big Blue, said of the film:

“I realized as I was working on the film, that it was really very much a story of how a band becomes a band. They are truly unique in that their overnight success actually took 10 years, so you really get to experience everything Twisted Sister went through to do it. I have to say, I don’t think I’ve ever experienced any group of musicians as ferocious...or as funny.”

We Are Twisted F***ing Sister! puts the fan in the trenches with the band from their early, hungry days in New York City onward through their legendary career. Recounted directly from the band themselves, their managers, and biggest fans, We Are Twisted F***ing Sister! is the mesmerizing, never-before-told story of the ten grueling years leading up to the band’s break out success.
