Watch trailer for ZZ TOP documentary That Little Ol’ Band From Texas

26 July 2019

ZZ TOP have released a trailer for their upcoming documentary That Little Ol’ Band From Texas.

The film will receive its worldwide premiere at Hollywood’s Cinerama Dome on August 13 – a date that ties in with the start of the band’s 50th anniversary tour.

The Sam Dunn-directed film will be released through a collaboration with Abramorama, Eagle Rock Entertainment and Banger Films and will tell the story of how Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard “became one of the biggest, most beloved bands on the planet, all while maintaining a surrealist mystique that continues to intrigue fans and entice onlookers a half century after the band’s inception.”

That Little Ol’ Band From Texas will feature rare archive footage, animation, interviews with the band, along with contributions from Queens Of The Stone Age’s Josh Homme and actor Billy Bob Thornton.

The film will also show the trio’s performance at Gruene Hall in New Braunfels – the oldest dance hall in Texas, which was captured exclusively for the movie.

Gibbons says: “I think even our most steadfast fans will find themselves surprised by what they learn about those men behind the beards and cheap sunglasses.

“There we are, up there on the silver screen and it’s something we’re delighted to share with fans of all stripes.”

Three days after the premiere, ZZ TOP will head out on the road to celebrate their 50th anniversary with special guests Cheap Trick and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
