One time Mr Brody Dalle and Rancid frontman Tim Armstrong has teamed up with director/animator John Roecker (Live Freaky Die Freaky) make a new web series called Svengali. The collaborators have put out a badly written presser to plug it, saying:
Svengali is a detective show that includes murder, music,sex,intrigue and a drunk detective ( John Roecker) battling it out with the evil professor (Tim Armstrong). The series is an homage to the 1970’s detective shows (I.e. Drinking, smoking, not p.c.) of yesteryear but set in 2010 using the city of Los Angeles as a back drop. Shot guerilla style with no permits or taste this is one web series people will never forget.
It sounds entirely immature and forgettable to Tone deaf, but we ARE excited by the fact that Jane Wiedlin from The Go Gos is making a guest appearance!
