OUR FAVORITE BAND: THE PERFECT AMERICAN D.I.Y. 7" [THE STORY OF OFB: FEATURING ONLY EXISTING VIDEO - DIR. E. DAVIES + INSPIRED BY SCOTT SORIANO]





OUR FAVORITE BAND,
America's favorite, obscure, country band! Untraceable
by the country-scenti
until 2002, when chestnut-sniffing groundhog and obscurantist, mp3 blogger, Scott Soriano,
atop his blog, Crud Crud, found an ugly little e.p. in a thrift store, fell in love and immediately pronounced his discovery,
'The Perfect American DIY 7",
' 25 years after its release.

Now a collectors item sought for its
found/outsider status-- touchstone and vinyl Grail
for collectors, its follow-up LP,
"Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings," fell in line just five years later.


This druggy and
pentecost-charged
videohomage to the South and its rarely documented mixology of sacred,
secular and country/gospel music is a
YouTube exclusive videoview of the soon to be released full-length original DVD
"Dreamin' of Eternity,"
featuring
Michael Stipe (REM) on vocals and Jason Ringenberg, Warner Hodges (Jason and the Scorchers).


Director Eric Davies, of "Looking For Cormac," is the same PBS wunderkind who brought you
'The Kennedy Assassination: Beyond Conspiracy' .

See the only
live footage ever captured of this reclusive clan.
[E. Davies, trapped in a spiderweb, falls under the spell
once again of the Recluse, SEEMING to delight in ITS TOXIC INITIATION
TO the South's secretive antiheroes and wasted storytellers.]

Writhe with snake handlers and choke down their poisonous, deadly, hillbilly-pact in a Bayou of bloated ecstasy as they prod the edge of Man's law--once theirs.


Look away,
look away, Dixieland
from the terrible ghost of neglect in this disturbing portrait of a singer mumbling words to his song like Syd Barret from a Bayou Bloat.


This is your ticket to the world of
"The Perfect American":
Perfectly undiscovered;
Perfectly presented;
Perfectly powerful
--and now...



PERFECTLY
UNFORGETTABLE!
