AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In a music studio in surburban Brisbane four men gather in an attempt to build upon a surprisingly successful first album. Newly clean, front man Gareth is losing his cool. Lead guitarist Chimney has got cold feet. Bass player Michael is keeping secrets and Sumo, the drummer, has vanished. Meet Hedonism.

'Hedonism have rocketed from pub gigs to support acts, international tours and brand management. It's a whole new world. They've been given a license to drink, be rockstars and live, well, hedonistically. They've been give permission to never grow up, as long as they record their second album.

'After an all-weekend bender involving under-age girls, bikies, racial slurs on YouTube and a wombat from Australia Zoo, record label exec Phil is sent in to pull the boys into line and prevent the looming PR disaster. During the testosterone-fueled fallout, closely-guarded secrets are laid bare and friendships tested.' (Synopsis)
