this is almost like a real life Spinal Tap. These guys were one of metals best up and coming bands that never upped and came. But they haven't given up, now they play clubs on weekends and have real jobs but they still see themselves as being on the verge of the next big break. It's a mixture of laughter(at them) and sadness(at how awesome they still think they are). But for some reason you end up really liking them despite the fact that they just aren't that cool anymore. Well worth the view if you come across it.

there's a good interview here with the director of the film, who was also a fan and a friend of them 20 years ago.

I have been wondering if this is another mockumentary or documentary. It seems very Spinal Tap, but I was hoping it was real. Looks very interesting. I heard some of the music and rather liked it.
