notes

Shot Over 4 Years And 3 Continents, Suzi Q Is The Definitive Story Of The Girl From Detroit City Who Redefined The Role And image Of A Woman In Rock`n`roll. Much More Than A Mere Biography Suzi Q Sets The Record straight And Reminds The World Of Suzi`s Musical Legacy.Includes 8 page Booklet
Suzi Q by Australian Director Liam Firmager charts the professional career of Detroit-born, UK-based singer/ songwriter/bassist/bandleader/actor/poet Susan Kay Quatro, the first female-rocker to break into the mainstream and the rightful Queen of Rock n Roll. Before Suzi Quatro burst onto the music scene in 1973, there were almost no women in rock, and absolutely none who played bass, sang lead vocals, led the band, rocked out and reached millions of people around the world. Suzi Quatro re-wrote the rule book for the expected image of women in rock. 4.5 years in the making, filmmakers Firmager and Tait Brady (Producer) were fuelled by a sense that Suzi's trailblazing status hasn't been sufficiently recognised by the music industry - especially in her native USA. Along the way, Suzi Q became a revisionist history of women in rock, and an intimate insight into a driven, ageless performer. In Suzi Q the price paid for success is revealed in a deeply personal exploration of fame, ambition, ego and resilience. With unlimited access to Quatro and contributions from collaborators, family and those she has inspired, the film documents both Suzi's personal life and a remarkable 53 years on the road. Talent featured in the film includes Alice Cooper, Deborah Harry, Tina Weymouth (Talking Heads), Joan Jett and Cherie Currie (The Runaways), Happy Days co-star Henry Winkler, KT Tunstall, Australian-born record-producer /songwriter Mike Chapman, numerous members of the very musical Quatro family and many more. 81 minutes of extras include extended interviews with Alice Cooper, Cherie Currie, Kathy Valentine, Tina Weymouth, KT Tunstall, Donita Sparks, Glen Matlock, Jamie Crompton, Patti Russo, Graham Gouldman, Martha Reeves, Al Abrams, Sir Tim Rice, Tequila Mockingbird, Joan Jett, Wendy James, Richard Tuckey and, of course, Suzi herself. A slip-cased NTSC / Region 0 (all regions) Special Edition DVD.

About the Director
'There's only one Suzi Quatro. She has sold 55 million records and still fills stadiums around the world. She was so influential but has yet to be recognised for her contribution to music. This film is an attempt to readdress that and introduce her to a new generation' - Director Liam Firmager
