LOS ANGELES, Jan. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Cola Kat Productions, a Los Angeles-based film and TV production company, today announced that award-winning filmmaker Kathy Kolla's punk rock music documentary "Who Is Billy Bones?" is now available to stream on Amazon Prime Video in the United States and United Kingdom. The film explores the early days of Hollywood punk and the continued perseverance of Skull's frontman Billy Bones through insightful interviews with notable musicians including Mike Dirnt (Green Day), Kevin Preston (Prima Donna) and Chas T. Gray (Wall of Voodoo).

The feature-length documentary showcases raucous stage performances, historic recordings and photography, as well as never-before-seen footage of the early L.A. punk rock club "The Masque" where bands including the Go-Go's, X, and The Germs made their initial mark on the music industry.

"This movie is a universal story of how perseverance can help a person overcome obstacles," said writer/director Kathy Kolla. "Billy Bones is an icon and an inspiration, and the fact this film is now available for audiences to experience across the country and in his homeland of England, is a true testament to the DIY, never-give-up ethos of punk rock and independent filmmaking."

From Billy Bones' childhood in the U.K. and Germany to his founding of one of the first punk-rock bands in Los Angeles, the singer's story encapsulates the power of music and how dedication to family can be a healing force for good. Live performance footage and engaging interviews with Bones' musical contemporaries and successors bring the past to life in "Who Is Billy Bones?", painting a searing portrait that at once reveals both the rawness and relevance of his music today.

"Who Is Billy Bones?" was produced by Kathy Kolla and Drew Milford. Musical score comes from composer Pancho Burgos-Goizueta.
