I came across this a little while ago. Pretty Cool
>FREAKS IN LOVE documents the 25 year career of the seminal psychedelic-punk band Alice Donut. From it's humble beginnings to just play a gig at CBGBs to signing to Alternative Tentacles to performing at Reading Festival and touring with Blind Melon.
Through it's ups and downs the band has remained friends and created some of the underground's most compelling music. This is also the story of many bands from the late '80s / early '90s when getting in a van and touring the country was all one could ask for, when free beer and pizza were a luxury and then it blew out of proportion with one band, Nirvana.
The industry changed and Alice Donut adapted.
Technology also changed how the band dealt with making music.
Jello Biafra, Curt Kirkwood of Meat Puppets, producer Martin Bisi, music industry insiders and the band tell the story of how Alice Donut has been able to 'Freak Freely' by just doing it for themselves for 25 Years and counting.
