Kill All Redneck Pricks: A documentary about a band called KARP

Once upon a time there was a band named KARP. Three boys with a gleam in their eyes and a shared love of the Olympia WA music scene. Forming a band and chasing the dream. Playing louder and darker than their peers as they toured the country in the back of a beat up old van. With fungible jobs at theaters and bars to scratch by. Kill All Redneck Pricks: A documentary about a band called Karp is a story of comitted friendships crossed with a classic story of demons, adulthood drugs and incredibly bad luck tearing a promising thing apart. It's also a snapshot of a local music scene and it's ups and downs. KARP is a film that probably rewards how much intensity for the subject matter the viewer arrives with. And their personal tolerance for footage that sometimes would make the Blair Witch Project feel like it was shot on rails.  It's definitely worth watching if you're a fan already or looking to devour anything you can find on the history of the NW music scene.  Everyone else ... well ... it's perhaps less crucial.  My full thoughts on why I came to that conclusion can be found over at Three Imaginary Girls.
