The Rock Life
Led by singer/songwriter Cisco Adler, son of music mogul Lou Adler, Whitestarr has been kicking around the L.A. basin for seven years. They've been signed and dropped by Atlantic Records, and virtually ignored by the industry they hope to conquer. They've been in rehab, in the tabloids and in relationships with some of Hollywood's hottest starlets. The only place they haven't been is the Billboard charts. But with Roy Orbison's son on drums and a fleshy former lawyer named Tony Potato as backup dancer, Whitestarr is a rock and roll circus that's as much fun off-stage as they are on. Throw in an afro-ed axeman named Rainbow, and you've all the ingredients for the ultimate rock and roll cocktail. Get an insider's look at the backstage drama as these four rockers (and one dancer) fight to keep the band together and stop at nothing to realize their rock dream. It's going to be an uphill battle, and it's going to take more than a famous name to get there.
