Bio:
Tuff Luck is a glam hard rock/hair metal band from Lauderhill, Florida, USA, that was formed in 1986.The band split up in 1994.They had the looks.They had the talent.They had the local following.What they lacked was the one lucky break that would have turned their entire career around. Seeing such talent not make it is a true shame.For every rock and roll band striving to grab that ever elusive brass ring and “make it” in the music business, there’s a million others, equally as talented, equally as inspired, equally as hard working, that unfortunately never get their shot for a confluence of reasons…timing, fate and just plain dumb luck.Some bands were meant to succeed and others, despite their efforts, are destined to crash and burn, their golden dreams of musical stardom abruptly torpedoed and vanquished. Velocity Films is proud to announce their latest film venture. A documentary charting the dramatic rise and fall of Tuff Luck, a criminally unheralded ’80s hard rock band blessed with prodigious musical gifts. In an alternate universe, Tuff Luck should have graced the cover of Rolling Stone magazine and instead has withered in total obscurity. That is until now…Tuff Luck is headed up by Andrew Klein, the younger brother of Tuff Luck drummer, the late Todd Kelly. As for the story arc, Klein explains, “The film will focus on Tuff Luck’s formation, rise, and eventual demise while also drawing attention to a once thriving and vital music scene in Florida.Based in South Florida, the aptly named Tuff Luck became the hottest attraction on the local music scene by 1986, routinely drawing thousands of fans to their gigs.They released one album on Ann Boleyn’s underground label, New Renaissance Records. The self-entitled debut included fan favorites such as “Sleaze if you Please”, “Tonight Tonight”, and “Take it or Leave it.” Tuff Luck was on the precipice of landing a huge record deal with Atlantic Records when they seemingly had everything going for them. Over the course of their ten-year career, the gifted hard rock outfit were an odds on favorite in the “next big thing” rock and roll sweepstakes and had expanded their profile, opening shows for hair metal giants, Dokken and Stryper among others.
