Synopsis
Gary Young, the unpredictable first drummer of Pavement, brought a chaotic energy that shaped the band’s early sound and trajectory. Archival footage and present-day scenes chart his wild ride from lo-fi pioneer to aging survivor—still drumming, still defying expectations.
Editorial
Crayola-colored puppetry twists its strings with deep-cut interviews and archive videos in this documentary about Pavement’s odd-one-out. Cartwheeling through the past, it hangs out with the old-hippie drummer who threw ‘70s psychedelic groove and prog-rock extravagance into the band’s ’90s sound.
