Synopsis

Spoiler shield

The five piece rock band The Upper Crust dress like 18th century European noblemen and sing about being fabulously rich. They start out playing the dingiest of dive-bars. One of them will end up as a confidant to the President. Shot over five years, the film chronicles friendship, betrayal, guns, lipstick, a shot on "Late Night With Conan O'Brien," an FBI investigation, Little Lord Fauntleroy, and the wild ride of a wild rock band.
