In Korea, 1970s was the dark ages of military autocratic regime as well as an era of revolutionary upheaval of pop culture lead by energetic youth.

They participate in a band contest in Seoul. The group make a strong impression with a shocking, yet amusing performance.

Larry Tressler Aug 19 2020 2:07 pm This is a fun movie but only loosely based on The Devils band. I was a member of this band in 1968 - 69. It was a fun time. I was the only American to ever be a member of this band.
