Storyline

Produced by the Emmy award-winning Banger Films, ZZ TOP: THAT LITTLE OL' BAND FROM TEXAS tells the story of Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill, and Frank Beard all while maintaining a surrealist mystique that continues to intrigue fans and entice onlookers 50 years after the band's inception. Buoyed by candid band interviews, never-before-seen archive, animation, celebrity fan testimonials (Billy Bob Thornton, Joshua Homme and more), and an intimate performance at the legendary Gruene Hall shot exclusively for this documentary, "That Little Ol' Band" runs the gamut, from the absurd to the poignant, from squalid Texas bars to MTV heroics, all in celebration of this notoriously private, but larger than life, power trio. In the end, ZZ TOP: THAT LITTLE OL' BAND FROM TEXAS unravels the extraordinary tale of a band whose image we know, but whose story we don't.

If you've ever wondered about the TRUE history of ZZ Top, you should watch it
26 July 2019 | by DoogieHowdy – See all my reviews

Had the chance to watch a release of this on a Norweigan site while the boyZZ were touring Europe. QUITE entertaining! These guys are the single, longest-lasting band together with the original members, for 50 years now and are still touring strong. Always mysterious, you'll learn things behind the beards (and the Beard) you probably never knew. It's very well done and extremely entertaining. They're Hall of Famers, "Official Heroes for the State of Texas" and three really nice guys. They're ZZ Top. Nuff' said!
