The best rock band you never heard of gets a detailed documentary, heavy on archival footage of members of the band themselves in the 1970s and 1980s, with updated commentary from them all decades after the The Embarrassment had broken up.
It tells the story of college art students in the 70s who enjoyed Bowie, The Stooges, Ramones, and other non-mainstream bands, then set out to learn to be their own weird, spastic, energetic rock style.
The film is also about Kansas, and Kansans, and one small, vanishing oasis of unique culture that sprang from the railyards, aviation plants, and farm fields of the Sunflower State.
Few documentaries are as much fun as this one. Don't miss it!
