VIA PRESS RELEASE | There are bands, there are fans, and then there’s Dennis and Lois. It’s official, April 28, 2020 is the release date for the long-awaited, award-winning documentary called Dennis And Lois. A story about a New York couple that transcended beyond just being “music fans,” to become the legends behind the legends.
In the Rock ‘n’ Roll world, the word “legends” is normally reserved for the performers and the stars, but every now and then, certain people rise up between the cracks of celebrity and fame to cement their own legacy. Dennis and Lois are such people. It all began in the mid-70s at a gritty little club in New York City called CBGB’s where Dennis and Lois befriended an up-and-coming band, The Ramones. They quickly became part of The Ramones inner circle, selling merchandise and assisting the future punk legends on tours around the world. This experience changed their lives.
Through the years, Dennis and Lois continue to build friendships and sell merchandise for the bands they admire. Happy Mondays immortalized them in song and Spin magazine published a comic strip celebrating their “War Stories from the Road.” Dennis and Lois are considered by many to be rock ‘n’ roll icons, but as age and illness start to threaten their lifelong tour, they need to rely on the friends they’ve collected along the way and the music that energizes them to keep it going.
Dennis and Lois is a documentary about love, passion, and the power of music. It’s about a couple who’ve always lived life on their own terms, and who have dedicated their lives to the spirit of Rock ‘n’ Roll with a self-imposed moral obligation to give back to those who create the music that moves them. It’s a film about the long list of artists that they’ve come to call friends, who consider Dennis and Lois an integral part of their own success and purpose.
