/24-7PressRelease/ - FARGO, ND, December 11, 2006 - DDM Films announces the DVD release of "Fargo Rocks," the 90-minute documentary that chronicles the rock and roll music history of the Fargo-Moorhead area over the last four decades.
"Fargo Rocks" is packed with exclusive interviews, rare photos, music and footage featuring Bobby Vee & The Shadows, Terry Lee & The Poor Boys, Davey Bee & The Sonics, The Treasures, The Unbelievable Uglies, Overland Stage, Johnny Holm, The Phones, The Blenders and more.
The DVD liner notes:
"To all of us that were there, it is now time to share.
"The music, the places, the summer nights, the good times that we all had. It is time to tell the world. Fargo, North Dakota, as the hub city on the Red River of the North, was and is home one of the most vibrant music scenes in the country.
"From the "Day the Music Died" up to present artists working the Valley today, the sound and quality of the music is simply superb. Listen to the artists tell their own stories: from Bobby Vee talking about his beginnings in 1959 to modern day artists such as North To Emerson being blared over MTV and all the great players in between. Listen to the stories and enjoy the music of the 28-song soundtrack as we once again experience the joys and sometime frustration of making music.
"'Fargo Rocks' brings all of this to the world and the opportunity for those of us who were here to enjoy it again and for those of you who weren't here to listen and see what you were missing."
- David D. Meiers, Creator of "Fargo Rocks"
