ELECTRIC APRICOT: QUEST FOR FESTEROO [2006]

Backed up by National Lampoon's Production, Primus frontman Les Claypool writes & directs the rock mockumentary comedy Electric Apricot: Quest For Festeroo.  
Taking inspiration from This Is Spinal Tap, Claypool creates the world of rising stoner-rock jam band Electric Apricot and their journey to a spot in the esteemed outdoor festival Festeroo.  The film does a fantastic job at creating a very realistic band and the people the surround it, making for a number of musician in-jokes others might not understand.  However, it's fairly short on laughs beyond that and doesn't rise to the occasion.
