Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains

Recently orphaned Corrine "Third Degree" Burns (a 14-year-old Diane Lane) enlists her cousin (Laura Dern) and sister (Marin Kanter) to launch a punk rock band, The Stains. Three rehearsals later, The Stains score the opening slot on a cross-country tour with aging metal act The Metal Corpses (led by Fee Waybill of The Tubes) and British punk rockers The Looters. The Stains meteoric rise (and equally lightening-quick fall) owes more to TV exposure than to talent. (Verleiher-Text)
