What's Music Legend Kevin Godley (10CC / Godley & Creme) Doing With Movie Icon Terence Stamp And Cult Biker / Author Richard La Plante?
New York, NY (Top40 Charts) RICHARD LA PLANTE: I'm dribbling into a microphone in a tiny LA sound studio, trying to record an audio book of my memoir HOG FEVER and the sound engineer looks as bored as I feel. Then a thought hits me like the crack of thunder from a V-Twin exhaust. Shit! Why don't I do the Hog screenplay, not the book, and get real actors in, sound effects, Rock music, the works? I'll phone my writing buddy, Kevin Godley - the Scorsese of music video and we'll call it an, an…

KEVIN GODLEY: An Ear Movie? Damn right! Once Terence was in, I was, but what the hell is an Ear Movie anyway? Well, it's a pure audio experience with music plus all the production values of a movie but without any er…pictures! Anyway, once we started writing, a few things became obvious. A) Lose anything that relies on seeing. B) Don't get lost in sound for sound's sake. C) Write until your eyes bleed…but hey, who needs eyes, anyway? We're making an EAR MOVIE!

"HOG FEVER should be outlawed. It's contagious." - Sunday Times

Midway between the satire of Spinal Tap and the pathos of American Beauty lies the schizophrenic state of mind known as Hog Fever. On the surface this is the story of a man, a motorcycle, and a teetering bank balance. But lurking beneath is the story of a lost soul in search of freedom - or at least one last stab at it. Motivated by the emasculating success of his British screenwriter wife and a love of Easy Rider and The Wild One, Robert Lourdes, a struggling American author on the cusp of forty, finds solace in the Harley-Davidson legend. Hog Fever is Robert's comedy of errors as he embarks on a toot, tattoo-and-testosterone-fueled quest to find himself.

The HOG FEVER CD and download comprises Episodes 1 through 5 plus bonus music soundtrack including 4 original songs by Kevin Godley (10 CC, Godley & Creme, GG/06) 'The Bad & The Beautiful' 'Work Song' 'Just Write' and 'Confession.' and a special track by Daniel Ash (Bauhaus, Love and Rockets) 'Flame On.'
