'Meet Me in the Bathroom' is a fascinating look at the New York City rock scene of the early 2000s. Our SundanceFilmFestival
At the turn of the century, rock music was inundated with bands like Limp Bizkit and electronica acts, and artists that leaned more into pop sensibilities. But in New York City, a musical revolution was brewing. After Y2K fizzled out and right before 9/11 shook the world, bands like The Strokes and Yeah Yeah Yeahs brought rock music back to something exciting, a style based in that old that managed to sound completely new.
We also follow Interpol, primarily through lead singer Paul Banks, who desperately wants to find the success of The Strokes, but has to fight for that type of recognition at every turn. Almost from the beginning, Interpol struggles with infighting, terrible tour planning, and music pirating.
There’s a lot to cover with Meet Me in the Bathroom, but Lovelace and Southern seamlessly interweave these band’s stories together to give a fascinating look at this musical shift. For those with borrowed nostalgia for the unremembered 2000s, Meet Me in the Bathroom shows a period when the music world looked completely different, where a musical uprising could naturally occur from kids just wanting to make unique music together.
