Bitch NYC

"The Bitch Movie" is a 60 minute documentary 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. The film explores the origins, philosophy, sociology and technical execution of the event, painting a portrait of the vibrant scene around Don Hills Club in downtown New York in the early 2000s. Through firsthand interviews and exclusive footage of the live performances, the film explores the motivations of the women who were passionate about singing heavy metal. Singer and participant Militia Vox describes the events: “It’s where I first cut my teeth as a metal singer- I sang songs by Slayer, Rage Against the Machine, Faith No More, Skunk Anansie and many more. I learned so much about music, live performance and female empowerment at BITCH. We were like family- rebel girls with attitude, style and balls to the wall talent.” “The Bitch Movie” is both a tribute to pioneering women who smash traditional stereotypes and heavy metal fans the world over. The film is part of the NYC ROCKS TV Series which focuses on telling authentic NYC rock 'n roll stories. www.NYCrocks.tv Produced and Directed by award winning filmmaker Damian Kolodiy and Edited by Damian Kolodiy and Sean P.
