Le one man band. Showmen, eccentrici, solitari. Ma non chiamateli suonatori ambulanti. Il nuovo documentario di Adam Clitheroe traccia un ritratto spassoso e commovente di alcuni musicisti che oggi si esibiscono in solitaria. Per loro la musica suona molto meglio se a farla sono loro da soli.Con un assortimento eclettico di stili musicali - dal theremin rock a assoli di batteria tempestosi e una band di supporto fatta con le ruote delle biciclette - queste one man band portano sul palco una musica e uno spettacolo degni di una intera band, ma a una frazione del costo.

One-man bands. Showmen, eccentrics, loners. But whatever you do, don't call them buskers. Adam Clitheroe's new feature documentary is a funny and moving portrait of contemporary musicians who play as one-person acts. For them, music just sounds so much better when you make it all alone.With an eclectic array of musical styles - ranging from theremin rock to hurricane drum solos and a backing band made of bicycle wheels - these one-man bands bring to the stage noise and spectacle worthy of a whole band, but at a fraction of the budget.

One man in the band is his first feature-length documentary. It seemed like a great idea at the time to make a film about one-man bands as a one-man band filmmaker. But it was hard work. We meet a selection of contemporary one-man bands from Europe and the USA and join them for their lonely existence on the road. THOMAS TRUAX is a legend in his own lifetime as he duets with homemade instruments including the Hornicator, Stringaling and Sister Spinster. MAN FROM URANUS, a veteran of the US military washed up in the English countryside after the first Gulf War, plays avant-garde space rock while wearing wellington boots on his hands. The French drummer DURACELL wires his drums to sing and plays so hard that he almost explodes. NINKI V uses a skeleton puppet to play her theremin and HONKEYFINGER wrestles werewolf rock from his lapsteel guitar. THE TWO TEARS is an ass-kicking Californian punk band boiled down to one girl and DENNIS HOPPER CHOPPERS plays the sort of blues you get when you sell your soul at the musical crossroads.
