Blast-Off Girls (1967)

Sleazy promoter Boojie Baker (Dan Conway) manipulates all those around him, including his rock band, The Big Blast, who have a hit with a song called Noise. When the band becomes disenchanted, Boojie sets them up for a drug bust.

Vocals and instrumentals are uniformly off-key and undistinguished, the band members have no distinct “look,” and the record execs & promoters don’t care, because “all bands sound the same anyway.”

This Herschell Gordon Lewis movie is better than could usually be expected from “the Godfather of Gore” (so-called because of Lewis’ string of below-average gore movies in the early ’60s). The Faded Blue (a real-life Chicago garage band) star as The Big Blast.

‘Colonel’ Harland Sanders (founder of the KFC empire) has a cameo role in the film, offering free fried chicken to the group in exchange for a performance outside his restaurant.

Sanders actually appeared in several B-movies during the ’60s in exchange for free fried chicken for the film crew.
