A scrappy sensational sideshow revival act playing Seattle dive bars is suddenly propelled into the big time, riding the same wave that brought grunge rock crashing into mainstream culture. In this award-winning documentary they recount the faintings, bannings, conflicts and inner struggles of non-stop touring around the world. One word of warning: what you see you will never forget.
