What Is King Rocker About?
The premise of King Rocker without spoilers.
This film explores the enduring career of Robert Lloyd, the enigmatic frontman of the cult British band The Nightingales. Through interviews with comedian Stewart Lee, director Michael Cumming, and James Nicholls, the documentary investigates how a working-class musician, seemingly lacking conventional support, has led his band for over four decades. Beginning with Robert Lloyd’s Prefects, who toured with The Clash in 1977, the film examines the social and economic factors that allowed such outsider artists to thrive during the punk and post-punk eras, and considers how the music landscape has changed.
