1960's teen rocker Arch Hall Jr. stars in the Z-Grade cinema bizarro Wild Guitar- a swampy cheesewhiz garage soundtrack (played by Arch himself) fuels this timeless classic / trainwreck - Archie is a strangely goofy young guitar-slinger who gets drawn into the sleazy underbelly of the LA music biz ... Despite his chipmunk-cabbage patch looks, in reality Arch was more like an early punk-type- he and his band the Archers put together a low-budget tour of drive-in theaters to promote Wild Guitar, usually playing on a flat-bed trailer and delivering some seriously blazing Chuck Berry-ish rock for the tweens - there's also a great Norton records comp of his white boy twang style both live and in the studio, still wild through the years.
