What It’s About: Music documentary/concert film about the last 48 hours of iconic indie dance band LCD Soundsystem (yeah, I called them ‘iconic.’ Wanna make something of it?).
What We Like: It’s pretty safe to say when most of us firstheard LCD Soundsystem’s cult dance hit “Daft Punk Is Playing At My House” back in the early 2000s, few could imagine that they would end up being the 21st Century’s best reason to visit the dance floor (bite me, Skrillex). Of course, their hipster/indie/punk cred paved the way for the inevitable backlash, but as this amazing—and surprisingly emotional—concert film shows, LCD Soundsystem were indeed the real deal. Detailing the band’s farewell concert on April 2, 2011 at Madison Square Garden and the immediate aftermath, this is an excellent final bow for a band worthy of a great tribute.
