CHARACTER STUDIES: Part 2
A series of documentary films exploring the idea of persona in the music world. These films take a look at artists who have transformative stage acts, and how that can influence the rest of their lives, for better or worse.
Frank Sidebottom was a papier mache headed man-child singing bizarro pop, covers and medleys of hits. Chris Sievey dreamed the character up as a side bit to his band, The Freshies, but Frank ended up being the main show.
