Electric Purgatory is a documentary that examines the struggles of black rock musicians and the industry's ambivalence towards them. Director Raymond Gayle spent the better part of a year traveling around the United States interviewing many of Black Rock's elite including Fishbone, Vernon Reid, Adam Falcon, Jimi Hazel and Cody Chesnutt. Distinguished journalists such as Flip Barnes, Darrell McNeil, Charlie Braxton, and Greg Tate, share their opinions and insight on the dilemma facing these artists. The film will explore the origins of the Black Rock Coalition and its relevance in the music industry. The project will also take a look at the stigma Black Rock musicians face in the Black community and more importantly how to bring the Black audiences back into the fold.

  • the black fold

    how about we do math insted of saying its the white man. How many black rockers our out there via how many everything ells rockers are our there, I think over all its just math with few u have less of an option for greatness not saying u wont get it but if the black community wants to think that they are being played down lets not forget about Jimmy Hendricks, on of the greats. Dont blame other people when u can only blame your self.

  • The only thing the coloreds should have ...

    struggle doing is picking the fields.

    Maybe writing some work chants is ok, but outside of that they need to work themselves into a sweat.
