On the Road - the epic documentary series that celebrates what ultimately rock n roll is about – the roadies.
On the Road, is a twelve part documentary series produced by VICE and Marshall Headphones. Presented by Jesse Hughes for the first six episodes and Tim Harrington for the next, On the Road celebrates the travelling rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle playing tribute to the unsung, behind-the-scenes heroes that make the gigs happen.
In the final episodes of Jesse’s incredible journey, he heads out to the Joshua Tree and Rancho de la Luna, a mystical place and spiritual home for musicians to come to record, play and write. The episode pays tribute to the ranch, which has seen some of the true greats of music, with the likes of the Arctic Monkeys, Queens of the Stone Age, U2, and PJ Harvey all jamming there. Jesse takes a tour of the compound with his best friend and fellow Eagles of Death Metal man Dave Catching, and we see this isn’t just a recording studio, but home to some amazing figures behind the rock ‘n’ roll scene.
