Friends Forever (the band) never plays inside rock clubs. Instead, they play inside their van outside the club, to stunned bystanders. Nate (drums), Josh (guitar), Jen (lighting) and their three dogs don't think twice about traveling thousands of miles across the country to play one 15-minute show in a loading zone. FRIENDS FOREVER (the documentary) captures their smoke-spewing, generator-powered rock world, and the tour that has them crisscrossing the U.S. in search of the perfect parking spot. No audience is too small, or too baffled, to skimp on the performance when you're on "a mission to save rock."

"A punk version of 'Hearts of Darkness', the infamous doc that Coppola's wife made of his total collapse during the filming of 'Apocalypse Now'. Don't be surprised if a flaming van roars into your life soon, dead-set on saving you from boring rock shows forever!" -VICE

"Uncontainable, smart in its own special way and, ultimately, inspirational." - LA Weekly

"You can see the immense creativity at work in such a self-defeating arrangement -- taking on the roles of losers and fuck-ups and playing them to the illogical extreme. It's a subtly ethnographic take on the cracks in subcultural fantasy and the infrastructure that allows for this unholy blend of performance art, comedy and music." - Spin
