BUMMER
The manager of a rock band fires the drunken, psycho bass player, who goes on a rape and murder spree.
Bummer is a 1973 American drama directed by William Allen Castleman about a small-time rock band whose bassist's violent rampage shatters their world of music, groupies, and excess.
Synopsis
Druggie nympho groupies follow their favorite rock n roll band, "The Group." Everything's fun and laughs until the big fat bass player kills you…that's the bummer! Terrific early 70s shots of Hollywood and The Valley.
Cool and seedy LA strip club scenes! The group's manager is a hot lesbian. All the chicks are of the pre-plastic surgery era and watching them romp around naked is wonderful! Lots of violence.
