Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie
A film by Matt Johnson
w/ Matt Johnson, Jay McCarrol
Unemployed bandmates, best friends, and fictionalized alter egos of the creators, Matt and Jay want to play at The Rivoli by attempting a new scheme involving a DeLorean-inspired RV. When it goes wrong, they're transported to 2008 and need to find a way to return to the present.
It’s been 17 years, after all, since Matt and Jay began their Sisyphean quest to book a show at the Rivoli, a Toronto club with a capacity of 230 and a long history within the Canadian alt-comedy scene. Rather than, say, actually write some songs or call the manager or send an inquiry email, the duo embarks on a series of outrageous attention-seeking gambits in hopes that, if they tell enough people that they’re playing at the Rivoli that night, the club will have no choice but to book them.
