    The Beautiful and the Damned: Lash (Part Two)

    The early 2000’s were a wild time for pop culture, and stacked up against the ‘Popstars’ of the time, Lash found themselves having to fight for indie rock relevance. They’d made the scene but could they hold on? Join Jac, Jess, Micaela and Belinda for part two of a raw and honest portrait of both sides of success. On one hand...records, tours, a Lindsay Lohan film sync, a Romanian song contest and a trip to East Timor to play for the troops. On the other...battles with the rock’n’roll “boys club”, the press, and - at times - themselves. This is the story of one badass band caught in the middle.
