Roadies

[Still-One]

Has anyone else been watching any of the first three episodes of Roadies on Showtime? I won't say that this is a great show but they do some interesting things musically to introduce you to quickly introduce you to some new artists. The show focuses on a group of the Roadies who accompany the fictitious Staton-House Band. Roadies hasn't show the S-H band playing in any of the first three episodes but what is interesting is we get to see the Opening Acts for a bit in each show. In Episode 1 the act was "The Head and The Heart". I had never heard of them but I have found some of their music to be pretty good. In Episode 2 the opening act was "Reignwolf" who plays agitated distorto-blues guitar licks with anguished vocals. The third Episode had Lindsey Buckingham doing some of his guitar magic. Interspersed throughout each episode we get bits and pieces of music from Dylan, Bobby Gentry, The Replacements, Gary Clark Jr., Jeff Buckley, The Who, The Box Tops.........

Some of the stock footage is pretty interesting.

Some familiar faces in the cast such as: Luke Wilson, Carla Gugino, Keisha Castle-Hughes and the cutie Imogen Poots. The series creator and director is Cameron Crowe.
