Thank You Very Much For Absolutely Nothing

About This Movie

So, this movie, 'Thank You Very Much For Absolutely Nothing', is a fascinating peek into Guided By Voices' early days. It's raw, unpolished, and has that gritty feel of 80s underground shows. The footage captures the band's youthful energy and the experimental edge of their sound, especially with tracks from 'Forever Since Breakfast'. You really get a sense of the atmosphere back then - smoke, dim lights, and a crowd that’s just figuring out who they are as much as the band is. The pacing feels spontaneous, like you're right there in the moment. Overall, it’s a distinctive slice of music history that showcases the roots of a band that would later grow into something much larger.
