National Lampoon Presents Electric Apricot: Quest for Festeroo (2007)


Directed by: Les Claypool
Cast: Les Claypool, Adam Gates, Brian Kehoe, Jonathan Korty
Rating: R

A young filmmaker eager to document an unexplored element of the contemporary music scene achieves auditory enlightenment while discovering the duality of existence in director Les Claypool's seamless mockumentary. Electric Apricot is a band for the ages. Fearless in their musical experimentation and never afraid of breaking new ground, the band seeks to achieve a higher consciousness through music. When an aspiring documentarian sets out to prove there's more to modern music than the charts would suggest, what he discovers is a musical universe teeming with unbound creativity and limitless potential.

I just saw this the other day and I thought it was priceless. Very much in the same vein as "This is Spinal Tap," but with the added bonus of Les Claypool!

Any fan's of Les OR the Jam Band scene need to get this movie post-haste.

Sounds good, but is it funny?

Back-breakingly so.
