King Rocker

"King Rocker" is a documentary that delves into the fascinating story of Robert Lloyd, a working-class musician who has managed to maintain his role as the leader of a cult underground band for over five decades. Despite having no visible means of support, Lloyd's band, The Prefects, played with The Clash on their White Riot tour in 1977 and went on to record more John Peel sessions than any other band. The film explores the social, cultural, and economic circumstances that enabled and sustained outsider artists like Lloyd in the punk and post-punk eras, and how the world has changed to make it unlikely for such figures to flourish today. Through Lloyd's personal odyssey, the documentary examines the evolution of abstract notions of social mobility, the value of culture and music, over the past five decades.
