Prey For Rock & Roll is a 2003 American drama film directed by Alex Steyermark and written by Cheri Lovedog and Robin Whitehouse. The film, which stars Gina Gershon, Drea de Matteo, Lori Petty, Shelly Cole, and Marc Blucas, follows the story of Jacki and her all-girl punk rock band, Clam Dandy. The film is adapted from a semi-autobiographical play of the same name by Lovedog, who founded an LA punk band in the 1980s.

Production

Cheri Lovedog wrote the stage musical Prey for Rock & Roll based on her own experiences fronting the punk band Lovedog, who opened for groups like Jane’s Addiction, Hole, L7 and X in the 1980s and early 1990s. The musical was staged in the summer of 2000 at New York's CBGB club. For the film adaptation, Lovedog did not want actresses to lip-sync to another singer's vocals.

Gina Gershon did all of her own singing in the film and also came on board as a producer.

Joan Jett was a consultant on the film and gave Gershon guitar lessons, but ended up leaving the production after a pay dispute that culminated in a lawsuit.

The filming began on May 16, 2002, in Los Angeles.
