What is 500 Days of Silence about?
The documentary provides first-hand accounts and relays the experiences of rock bands and musicians who faced uncertainty during the global pandemic – that time in recent history when the entertainment industry shut down with no end in sight. Rock bands playing small clubs and large stadiums all struggled during an unprecedented time in history. Tours were canceled and venues closed as bands were told to pack up and go home. Meanwhile, breakout rockers The Black Moods, from Tempe, Arizona, hit the Billboard Top 20 charts, but now what? The band is determined to keep going, discovering new ways of connecting with fans and figuring out what is really important in their lives,” reads the synopsis.
“Viewers will experience honest conversations about the personal challenges of veteran rockers Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, Rick Springfield, members of the Gin Blossoms, REO Speedwagon, Slipknot, and Steel Panther as these artists contend with their livelihood being silenced, not knowing if they will play on a live stage again, as they discover how to keep the music going.”
500 Days of Silence is written and directed by Jeremy Simmons, who filmed on location for over two years during the pandemic with The Black Moods as they navigate the highs and lows of keeping the rock and roll engine going in Arizona, Mexico, Missouri, South Dakota, Florida, and Southern California.
The documentary features the appearances of Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony of Van Halen, Corey Taylor of Slipknot, Rick Springfield, Kevin Cronin of REO Speedwagon, Robin Wilson of Gin Blossoms), Eddie Trunk, Eddie Kramer, Josh Kennedy, Chico Diaz, Jordan Hoffman of The Black Moods, Jim Adkins of Jimmy Eat World, Michael Starr of Steel Panther, Vic Johnson of The Circle, and Roger Clyne of Refreshments.
