Nugs.net, the leading music platform for live concert streams and recordings, has partnered with Round Hill Music for the global premiere of the feature documentary “Triumph: Rock & Roll Machine”.
Fans can tune in for the premiere event on Friday, May 13 at 8:30 p.m. EDT, which will kick off with an exclusive, moderated question-and-answer session with all three members of TRIUMPH — guitarist/vocalist Rik Emmett, drummer Gil Moore and bassist Mike Levine.
Tickets for the global streaming event can be purchased starting today for $19.95 exclusively at nugs.net/triumph. Streaming is available worldwide, with the exception of Canada. Tickets will be available through Sunday, May 15 at midnight EDT.
“We are thrilled to bring this exclusive streaming premiere to fans outside of Canada for the first time,” says Nugs.net co-founder Jon Michael Richter.
“As a consumer and marketer, I love what Nugs.net does and how many real music fans they regularly engage,” says Brian Hay from Round Hill Music.
“Triumph: Rock & Roll Machine”, produced by Emmy and Peabody award-winning Banger Films (ALICE COOPER, IRON MAIDEN, RUSH and ZZ TOP), delivers on revisiting a band that sold millions of albums, played for millions of fans, and never put themselves above their audience. The film covers TRIUMPH‘s humble beginnings as staples of the GTA circuit in the mid-’70s to their heyday as touring juggernauts, selling out arenas and stadiums all across North America with their legendary spectacular live shows — and way beyond.
Sam Dunn, who co-directed the film with Marc Ricciardelli, said: “The TRIUMPH story was compelling to me, Marc, and the Banger team because it was an opportunity to piece together a broken puzzle. We wanted to know how and why the band dissolved at the peak of their powers. It was quite the ride.”
Moore, Levine, and Emmett formed TRIUMPH in 1975, and their blend of heavy riff-rockers with progressive odysseys, peppered with thoughtful, inspiring lyrics and virtuosic guitar playing quickly made them a household name in Canada. Anthems like “Lay It On The Line”, “Magic Power” and “Fight The Good Fight” broke them in the USA, and they amassed a legion of fiercely passionate fans. But, as a band that suddenly split at the zenith of their popularity, TRIUMPH missed out on an opportunity to say thank you to those loyal and devoted fans, a base that is still active today, three decades later.
Back in 2016, Moore and Levine reunited with Rik as special guests on the “RES 9” album from Emmett‘s band RESOLUTION9. After 20 years apart, Emmett, Levine and Moore played at the 2008 editions of the Sweden Rock Festival and Rocklahoma. A DVD of the historic Sweden performance was made available four years later.
