ABOUT THE MUSIC
The alternative/independent rock scene that exploded in the late 80's/early 90's was a period we hold dear to our hearts. The music created during that stretch still has great influence today, as the descendants of Nirvana, The Pixies, Sonic Youth, The Replacements, Radiohead and their compatriots are everywhere on rock radio.
Part of what made Almost Famous such a great film was its love affair with the music of the era. It was saturated with the classic rock sounds of the early and mid 70's, a "needle-drop" film as Martin Scorcese would say. This is how we envisioned The Incoherents and what makes our film so distinctive: killer, melodic tunes buzzing in your ear as we tell our story...
In the film, Bruce Flansburgh (Jeff Auer) and his wife Liz (Kate Arrington) struggle to regain their artistic roots. When they met in college, she was studying graphic design and he was the lead singer in a rock band. After Bruce abandoned his rock dreams abruptly, the years slipped away, the kids came along, the family moved out to Jersey and the artistic couple lost their mojo. But now it's rearing it's head again because at their core, it never went away...
Leading up to production Alex Emanuel (Jimmy, the Keith Richards to Bruce's Mick Jagger) and Jeff wrote a bunch of original songs for The Incoherents to perform in the film. Of 25 demos written and recorded for the film, we chose seven, and recorded them at Magic Door Recording in Montclair, NJ with engineer Ray Ketchem. We were blessed to have Alex's friends, guitarist Sean Eden from Luna and drummer Kevin March of Guided By Voices, perform on the tracks. How’s that for a 90’s indie rock one-two-punch?
The film also includes musical performances from Tony Award Winner Stew, Jimmy Gnecco of Ours, Fiona Silver, Gentlemen Brawlers, and 60/40, appearances by musicians Chris Barron of The Spin Doctors, Jack McKeever, Joe Hurley and Richard Barone, and songs by, among other artists, Elk City, Tag Sale, Thee Shambels, Jehry Robinson and former bands of Alex Emanuel.
