One man in the Band (trailer) [2]
One-man bands. Showmen, eccentrics, loners. But whatever you do,
don't call them buskers. This feature documentary is a funny and
moving portrait of contemporary musicians who play as one-person
acts. For them, music just sounds so much better when you make it all
alone. With an eclectic array of musical styles - ranging from
theremin rock to hurricane drum solos and a backing band made of
bicycle wheels - these one-man bands bring to the stage noise and
spectacle worthy of a whole band, but at a fraction of the budget. We
meet a selection of contemporary one-man bands from Europe and the
USA and join them for their lonely existence on the road. THOMAS
TRUAX [USA] is a legend in his own lifetime as he duets with homemade
instruments including the Hornicator, Stringaling and Sister
Spinster. MAN FROM URANUS [USA], a veteran of the US military washed
up in the English countryside after the first Gulf War, plays
avant-garde space rock while wearing wellington boots on his hands.
The drummer DURACELL [France] wires his drums to sing and plays so
hard that he almost explodes. NINKI V [UK] uses a skeleton puppet to
play her theremin and HONKEYFINGER [UK] wrestles werewolf rock from
his lapsteel guitar. THE TWO TEARS [USA] is an ass-kicking
Californian punk band boiled down to one girl and DENNIS HOPPER
CHOPPERS [UK] plays the sort of blues you get when you sell your soul
at the musical crossroads. From:
