The film is screening in select cities beginning August 13 in Los Angeles. To find a screening near you, check out ZZTopFilm.com.

ZZ Top - That Little Ol' Band From Texas (Official Trailer)

Visit www.zztopfilm.com for screening details. Produced by the Emmy award-winning Banger Films, ZZ TOP: THAT LITTLE OL' BAND FROM TEXAS tells the story of how three oddball teenage bluesmen - Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill, and Frank Beard - became one of the biggest, most beloved bands on the planet, all while maintaining a surrealist mystique that continues to intrigue fans and entice onlookers 50 years after the band's inception.
