  • Watch Online / Hey Hey What: Michael Yonkers and the Blind Shake (2011)



    Desc: Hey Hey What: Michael Yonkers and the Blind Shake: Directed by Colin Frangos. With Jim Blaha, Mike Blaha, Dave Roper, Michael Yonkers. Michael Yonkers began making music in the mid-sixties. The Blind Shake were born in the late-seventies. In 2003, they began collaborating on music that is both modern and timeless. Their work is not a nostalgic look back, but rather a mad charge forward. It exemplifies what is vital and thrilling about rock-and-roll. This film documents the recording of their third album, Period, and then delves into their separate careers over the following months. It concludes with what will likely be Michael Yonkers' last live performance. With much more in common with Salesman or Grey Gardens than Behind the Music, you will not get a detailed history of both bands, but you will definitely know who these people are and what they do.
