Synopsis:

A Journey Through Money, Fame and Rock & Roll

From Veruca Salt’s virtual overnight success to Steve Albini’s caustic wit to the bizarre rants of the clinically-diagnosed schizophrenic/singer Wesley Willis, Out of the Loop provides an insider’s look through Chicago’s diverse rock music scene and offers a slice of how musicians make decisions when confronted with the lures of fame in the notoriously fickle music business.

Using liberal doses of exclusive live footage and interviews, Out of the Loop allows those who lived through the music industry feeding frenzy to recount the funny, tragic and bittersweet tales of stardom.
