Review of Bandwagon

Bandwagon (1996)
Great flick for the indie-minded.

What a great movie to see once IFC was finally offered in my market! This movie will be especially entertaining for those with any knowledge of indie rock/pop music. Living in Charlotte for 3 years also let me appreciate the little regional establishing shots and references like Krispy Kreme, Cat's Cradle, and ignorant rednecks. While it drags at a couple points, it's nonetheless an entertaining look at the eccentricities and shortsightedness of young musicians, and the nature of the business of show. Definitely worth the 3 star rating it had on my cable program guide. And it's got a catchy few "original" songs a la The Wonders or Stillwater, only in the indie rock vein. I kept looking for Superchunk or Archers of Loaf members to pop up in a crowd shot... :)
