Rock Opera is a 1999 Austin Texas punk rock comedy thriller movie directed by Bob Ray. This movie is totally awesome!! It tells the story of Toe, a drug dealer in the band Pigpoke. He is trying to raise money selling pot to get his band to go on tour.
He gets weed fronted to him from a dude who is on house arrest for jacking off into a laundromat dryer.

He sells to all kinds of interesting people who I assume are players in the Austin punk scene. Things is they all are into a different drug and offer Toe a sample, for instance this guy who is dipping cigarettes in Robotussin.
The more of these custie drugs he tries the more he gets strung out! It seemed to me like he was making good money but I guess he wanted to be a higher roller so he goes over his suppliers head and contacts his suppliers supplier. Now he's moving even more weed but the new guys is a crazy violent redneck. Shit gets serious dealing with this dude and the movie starts to get pretty intense at this point!
Like I said before, this movie is super awesome! It has great music, great acting and a good story. If you are a punk rocker it is basically your duty to make a movie like this documenting your scene. Seriously, every punk scene should have a movie like this. I can't recommend this highly enough! You can purchase it here or get the DVD from Netflix.
