Spittle (Roadie)

Punky rock band playing Los Angeles' Whiskey-A-Go-Go club in the rockin' 1980 movie Roadie. They refuse to go on stage when groupie Lola Bouillabaisse (Kaki Hunter) shows up with a box of real laundry detergent instead of the detergent box of cocaine she was supposed to bring. Their fat bitch manager (played by Helena Humann) says, "No snow, no show." The titular roadie, Travis W. Redfish (Meat Loaf) threatens the band into performing and chases them onstage! But when the band starts playing, Redfish sees Lola leaving unhappy and grabs a mic to talk to her. He can't hear her, so he throws her a mic and they have a conversation over the PA while the band plays. Then there's an earthquake!

Spittle was played by real band Standing Waves: Shona Lay, Bob Murray, Larry Seaman, Randy Franklin, David Cardwell.

The movie also features a mishmash of real artists as themselves: Blondie, Roy Orbison, Alice Cooper, The Pleasant Valley Boys, Asleep at the Wheel, Hank Williams Jr., and The Bama Boys.
