5 old VW camper vans. 4 bands. 3 thousand miles. 2 weeks. 1 gloriously backwards tour. The adventure starts after a fire-fuelled final night at Austin's SXSW Music Festival, where the bands (Ben Howard, The Staves, Nathaniel Rateliff, Bear's Den) pile into their rides and head northeast. They play everywhere from bars to barns, rooms to rooftops, packing out tiny venues and wowing crowds with their unique sounds. But heavy rainstorms, multiple breakdowns, and cramped conditions remind them that to push through sometimes you need to pull together. Featuring Mumford & Sons' Ben Lovett and narrated by Gill Landry this documentary is about a modern tour, done the old fashioned way. 70 mins.

| User ReviewChris KAn interesting peek at what road life is like for a troupe of touring musicians. The music is pretty good throughout - especially The Staves. |

| User ReviewShantel DDecent little music doc. The music is great, but it seems a lot longer than it's hour and twelve minutes. |
| User Reviewoliver mA rather self-serious documentary that serves mainly as a propaganda film in favor of indie music and hipster living. It's not bad, but it just gets a little tiring, even at 72 minutes. |
| User ReviewMarnie ZI didn't finish this...I was not crazy for the music and had to turn it off |
