Review: Dig! (documentary)

I'd heard a lot about this documentary over the past year. I've actually heard more about this doc that the bands it covered.
Synopsis: Dig! follows the paths of 2 bands: The Brian Jonestown Massacre & the Dandy Warhols. Touted as "rival bands" they're actually friends who play and crash with each other as they develop their careers. The rivalry aspect can be seen from the differing approaches each band has to "making it big." The Dandys write pure indie pop (with proper hooks) and play by the record industry rules. BJM are more eclectic in their approach to music and stardom.
Overall, the documentary provides an interesting portrait of rock-stardom and how each band dealt with the options before them. Really, what you're looking at are the egos of 2 very determined band leaders.

My biggest issue with the both bands is that I never really liked either of them. I remember their emergence, and wasn't impressed. The Dandy's released a single in which the chorus was a whiny repetition of the phrase "heroine is so passe." And didn't know anyone who cared about BJM (other than the occasional rock critic) let alone liked them.

But these factors may help when it comes to the arc of the documentary. Where it say Pearl Jam or Nirvana (BIG bands at the time) this story could not have been told.
