Bandwagon(1997)

Finally, a movie about a band.

Bandwagon is a comedy film about Tony, a guitarist who loses his job and decides to pursue music full-time. He recruits drummer Charlie to form a band, though Tony struggles with stage fright and can barely perform in front of anyone. The pair recruit guitarist Wynn and unpredictable bassist Eric to complete Circus Monkey, their ambitious new group. Driven by dreams of fame and fortune, the band lands some early gigs and begins climbing toward success. But as their momentum builds, the members confront the harsh realities of the music industry and what it truly demands. Bandwagon captures the clash between artistic passion and commercial ambition, following four musicians as they discover that making it big comes with unexpected costs.
