As the bassist of the three-piece punk-rock band, DUH, Judy dreams of quitting her job and touring full time. With no van and a string of gigs booked, the slacker band is getting desperate. Enter Uncle Peckerhead. Soon the band finds themselves on their first tour with a man-eating hillbilly for a roadie and "gig life" is filled with nightmares and half-eaten bodies.
UNCLE PECKERHEAD is a bloody feature film debut that splatters the screen with great music, cheap thrills, gory mayhem and a helluva lot of fun.
