I am back with a vengeance. I have had this documentary for awhile and been meaning to post about it, but sadly life took over and I had to neglect mog. I will admit I do miss Luna, an amazing band that never got the success that they deserved. All of you Galaxie 500 fans that discovered them from the love of Dean Wareham know what I am talking about. I found them from a different route that I am not sharing with you, but nevertheless I appreciate. Now Luna went through a few lineup changes, but Dean and Sean Eden (who is now playing with Elk City among others) stayed the same and kept the sound going. The film captures the beauty of Luna as well as the bittersweet farewell that was their last tour. You will see the monotony that we all know is life on the road and the path that relationships take when you spend ten years with someone in a van. You might see more than you are used to in tour documentaries because Matthew Buzzell, the filmmaker, was able to capitalize on his friendship with the band to have true access (there is a hidden gem that shows the love). Regardless of your thoughts about the band, it is a wonderful fim, a true lovesong to a band that I miss.PS- You can watch the trailer here http://www.fuzzywuzzy.com/movie/index.html
