"The Bitch Movie" is a 60 minute "Rockumentary" film that takes a
retrospective look at the "Bitch: A Ladies Tribute To Metal" monthly
party which ran at the legendary Don Hills Club in New York City's
West Village. The Bitch night featured a house band playing classic
rock and heavy metal cover songs featuring a rotating cast of
electrifying female singers from the NY rock and metal scene.
Take a time travel trip to downtown New York in the early 2000s where the film explores the origins, philosophy, sociology and technical execution of the event, painting a portrait of the vibrant scene around Don Hills Club. Through firsthand interviews and rare, exclusive footage of the live performances, (this was before cell phones and original footage was painstakingly retrieved and assembled from various analog tape sources) the film explores the motivations of a sample of the hundreds of women who participated and were passionate about singing heavy metal.
“The Bitch Movie” is both a tribute to pioneering women who smash
traditional stereotypes and Don Hill who fostered the club and a unique scene.
If you enjoyed the scene presented in the film and would like to support this spirit in the present day in NYC, the F*Bomb party at Arlene's Grocery both carry a similar torch! Arlene's is having a tough time getting through the pandemic, please consider supporting their GoFundMe so that the future of local NYC rock has a home! https://gf.me/u/ys7qc2
