We don’t wanna make you dance. The story of a band that could not be
Three brothers, Dan, C.B., AKA Barney, Mike and a childhood friend, Blake Sloan, labeled the music of their band “Miller, Miller, Miller and Sloan” as Funky. In 1983 they had a large and enthusiastic local following in New York City, people that encouraged them to believe they could aim high.
Lucy Kostelanetz, the filmmaker, captures that moment in time with scenes from rehearsals, home interviews, and best of all performances at Peppermint Lounge and CBGB.s, including backstage footage of the infamous CBGB “green room”.
But by 1993 the Band dissolved. In 2007 Lucy reconnected with all the former band members, curious to see how the enormous amount of time and work they had put into trying to make it happen might have played out in their eventual lives. Only one of the former band members has continued to pursue the dream. Although now with the Internet, the challenges and possibilities are totally different.
