Yeah i watched this a couple of days ago after Ugly Things posted it on Facebook. Just incredible. What a gem.

I like the band that's pictured in the screen freeze. The rest are kind of blah. Are those all covers?

I saw this a couple of days ago too. Really great.

*Like* - Film color is so beautiful.

I'm so glad this exists.

I think those are all covers, but one or two I didn't recognize.

Two of the maybe more obscure ones are Blues Project covers: Steve's Song and Cheryl's Going Home.

>>>The rest are kind of blah.

The "blahness," or goodness, or not-very-goodness, of these bands is not what makes this film so wonderful. Why you hate youthful exuberance and fun?!

Hahah pretty great. No surprise Ugly Things helped break this out.

Not only great tunes and colors and people, but editing? It doesn't need to be this easy to watch, but it is. Kudos to whoever was responsible for that.

three years pass...

Ira Kaplan is in the audience in this! He says the footage was for a local TV report.

Is the band that does the Light My Fire cover doing originals as well? Some of them are pretty good!

Love this so much, the band all in white playing Dimes Make Dollars by Lilys always makes me chuckle.
