INDIE ROCK DOCUMENTARY: Indie Independence Month

JUST GIVE ME INDIE ROCK! NEEDS YOU!

JUST GIMME INDIE ROCK! is a feature documentary about four transformative decades of American music and culture. Beginning with the pioneers of the 80's independent label scene (Sonic Youth, Husker Dü); through the underground explosion that was 90’s indie rock (Pavement, Elliott Smith); to the non-stop indie pop world of today (Arcade Fire, Phoenix), JUST GIMME INDIE ROCK! will be the first to connect the dots between these divergent eras of indie, revealing the single greatest rock and roll story never told. Archival and original performances, interviews with indie insiders and famous fans, and short subject vignettes imagined by top indie filmmakers will document our generation’s contribution to the rock and roll continuum.

W
e hope you will join us in making indie rock history!
