The Angels: Kickin' Down The Door promises an intimate and compelling music documentary about arguably the most theatrical Aussie band to emerge from the fertile pub rock scene of the late '70s and early '80s, due to charismatic frontman Doc Neeson.
The film, which is directed by Madeleine Parry (Hannah Gadsby: Douglas, Hannah Gadsby: Nanette) promises to explore the tensions that tore the band apart and helped them produce classics like Take a Long Line, Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again, No Secrets and Shadow Boxer.
The film features new interviews with The Angels' Brewster brothers John and Rick, plus archival concert footage from their prime.
