Can't Stop the Music in Bloomington, MN

There is something undeniably liberating merely about the very idea of the Village People, let alone the group's amazing crossover success and appeal. If you've never seen a straight dad at a wedding leading a conga line around the dance floor to the group's international hit "YMCA," you're truly missing something. Whether one was attracted to their campy style as a true-believing insider or to their sheer novelty as a fun loving outsider (remember this is pre-Bronski Beat, Pet Shop Boys, Boy George etc.), it was hard to resist the group's appeal.

The film CAN'T STOP THE MUSIC is a fun romp a la HARD DAY'S NIGHT that traces the Village People's rise to fame. The macho, hyper-dynamic vocal deliveries by this vocal group bring smiles to the faces of even those who otherwise might bemoan disco. Featuring full, analog orchestrations, party-like chant-along choruses, and track contributions from the Ritchie Family and David Landon, this CD is part nostalgia trip and part party starter.
