LOUDER THAN YOU THINK: THE LO-FI HISTORY OF GARY YOUNG AND PAVEMENT /// TRAILER

"I took LSD 375 times. These words, accompanied by the image of Young as he appears now, are all you need to understand the kind of documentary you're in for–one hell of a strange trip, man."
-Mike DeAngelo, The Playlist

An up-close cinematic walkabout through the life of Gary Young, the original (and highly unlikely) drummer of indie rock royalty Pavement. His booze and drugs-fueled antics (on-stage handstands, gifting vegetables to fans) and haphazard production methods (accidentally helping launch the lo-fi aesthetic) were both a driving force of the band’s early rise and the cause of his eventual crash landing. Leaving a wake of joy and/or destruction at every turn, Gary teeters the thin line between free-form self-expression and chaotic self-destruction. Thirty years on with scoliosis, blood clots, and a shriveled liver, Gary is still drumming with no regrets. Note: no puppets were harmed in the making of this film.
