Ultra low budget movie made in Portland, Maine about a mad scientist, his daughter, and giant lobsters on the loose. The film has tons of footage of local bands, with just a few of the more interesting being The Kopterz, The Wild Hearts, Bebe Buell and the Gargoyles, and the Brood. The best band death scene is probably The Brood's which takes place during a beach party. What more could you ask for than a giant lobster claw taking out the drummer? Nothing, I tell you! Not one thing!

i was the drummer for the wild hearts @ the time.we had a blast makin lobsteroids.thanks for posting this.rock on!! pete w....
Fantastic! I'm not sure if I saw you play with the Wild Hearts, but I definitely saw you with The Pontiffs. Lobsteroids is like a time capsule for anyone who lived in Portland in the late eighties.
Great little movie -- was glad to be a small part as singer for Boom Shanka on the Good Morning Portland set. Loved Richard Roase as the weatherman.

Lobsteroids to Portland, Maine, is what a consolidation of great rock bands (1989) and a "theme" of awry experiments with our much adored (and devoured) crustacean delights.
When the tables turn (no pun intended) and the RocknRoll lovers become among the menu, their tenacity and "claw bites" makes this film turned DVD by John Lane Films in distribution with Diogenes Entertainment the "fun-loved" account of local artist expression.
