Electric Apricot (2007)

In the vibrant spring of 2005, a zealous UCLA graduate filmmaker embarked on a journey to create a documentary unlike any other. His vision was to delve into an unexplored facet of contemporary music culture, to capture an essence both raw and original. His quest led him to the unassuming and uniquely genuine band, Electric Apricot. This eclectic ensemble is not just a band, but a delightful spoof of the jam band genre, echoing the humor and satire of "This Is Spinal Tap." The band members, known by their whimsical pseudonyms, Steve Hampton Trouzdale on bass and vocals, Steve "Gordo" Gordon on guitar and vocals, Herschal Tambor Brillstien on keyboards and vocals, and Lapland "Lapdog" Miclovik on drums and vocals, become the heart of this documentary. As we delve into their world, we witness their journey, their humor, and their pursuit of musical enlightenment. However, this isn't merely a journey through the world of music. This film transcends the ordinary, unveiling the duality of existence in an unexpected twist. The filmmaker's initial quest to redefine the music documentary genre evolves into a deeper exploration of life's dualities, using the band as a vibrant medium to convey this complex concept. Electric Apricot is more than a film; it's an exploration of music, life, realism, and the unexpected layers of existence. It's a journey that promises to enlighten, entertain, and provoke thought in a way that redefines the traditional music documentary. Witness the unconventional journey of Electric Apricot as they navigate the rhythm of life and the melody of existence.
