A film by C.B. Stockfleth
Documentary – 93 Minutes – English/USA 2022
In the 1990s, cheap rent and big houses in Athens, GA helped incubate bands like the Olivia Tremor Control, the Apples In Stereo, Neutral Milk Hotel, Elf Power, the Music Tapes, the Minders, the Gerbils, of Montreal, Beulah, Dressy Bessy, Great Lakes & more. This psychedelic rock music, often created by non-musicians and recorded on 4-tracks, developed a loyal following who shared cassette tapes and 45s and packed into raucous live shows. Featuring pioneers Robert Schneider and Jeff Mangum, performances, and video clips, this brisk-paced rock doc charts the genesis of that uber-creative, DIY music scene and captures its electricity and joy.
