There’s an electric guitar rock playing boy. There’s a
classical pianist girl. And then there’s a blues band. What happens when you
throw these three things together? Blue
Noise.
Ash isn’t very happy with his home life and spends his time
drooling over his dream guitar in the local music shop. Erin
is shy and insecure but a hugely talented classical musician. When Ash meets
Charlie, a weird kid who loves blues, he is convinced to join Charlie’s band. Erin is headhunted by Charlie as well and she realises
that it could be good for her shyness, and besides Ash is in the band.
Both Ash and Erin can see
the band is doomed to fail. But Charlie’s love for the blues and his “anything
is possible” attitude is contagious. Maybe the blues, and the band, will work
after all.
When the band starts to work well, is when the
communications start to break down.
For any kid out there wanting to form a band, be in a band,
or just play music … I recommend Blue
Noise.
