[...] Family Nouveau is the name of an on-the-road documentary chronicling freak-funk group of Montreal’s 2009 European tour.

No Susan Sarandon, though. [...]

Fantastic! Cirque du Soleil meets A Clockwork Orange. I don’t know whether to laugh be scared. Can’t wait to watch the film. p.s.: Did Simrill borrow those Perfect Push-ups from Marco Pacioni of the smash hit video, “Ciao Marco”? (See how I did that?)

Hi,
I was at the premier for this and it was a great film! It really opened up the band and revealed how great they counterbalance or enhance each other. Lots of fun to watch. And I definitely want the Perfect Push-ups now.
