If there’s one thing that Kevin Barnes knows, it’s how to sell a product.

[...] Family Nouveau is the name of an on-the-road documentary chronicling freak-funk group of Montreal’s 2009 European tour. It’s set to premiere at this year’s Chicago International Movies and Music Festival on March 5. The movie was filmed by an English professor named Spenser Simrill Jr., and if the trailer (embedded below) is any indication, it should feature lots of push-ups and dudes in pig costumes. 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.
