'NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE' w/ Jay McCarrol

This week, we are joined by JAY McCARROL, the co-creator, star, and musical genius behind the joyful phenomenon and film NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE!!!We discuss Jay’s experience composing music for the legendary Martin Short, the origin stories of Nirvanna The Band, how co-creator Matt Johnson and Jay started blending fiction with reality while still in their youth, being a dreamer and being delusional in a band, the epic tale of being mistaken for Project Runway winner Jay McCarroll, the haunted sounds of an upright piano, how they decided on the tone of Nirvanna The Band The Show and their singular, folding-in-on-itself way of creating their work, how outside circumstances are constantly changing their plots midstream, the magic of using flashbacks, how and why the film changed from a story about going to New Orleans to the current time-travel story, the wild swings of fair usage with the world of Nirvanna The Band, Jay’s touchstones while composing the score for the movie, can Nirvanna The Band still be anonymous, how their success with the film Blackberry helped propel them into making NTBTSTM, what The Rivoli means to the band, the future of Nirvanna The Band The Show Season 3, how they hope to be doing this into their senior era and more!So let's spill that Orbitz onto this week's episode of Revolutions Per Movie!NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE:https://www.neonrated.com/film/nirvanna-the-band-the-show-the-movieJAY McCARROL:instagram.com/jaymccarrolREVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE:Host Chris Slusarenko (Eyelids, Guided By Voices, owner of Clinton Street Video rental store) is joined by actors, musicians, comedians, writers & directors who each week pick out their favorite music documentary, musical, music-themed fiction film, or music videos to discuss.
