Chalupa's Movies: Danielson: A Family Movie (or, Make a Joyful Noise Here)

Danielson: A Family Movie (or, Make a Joyful Noise Here)

If you've ever heard of a band called Danielson or Danielson Family, you'll never forget those vocals. You might describe them as unique, weird, awesome, screeching, annoying, etc. All I know is that it grows on me. Another unforgettable trait of their music is the lyrics of their songs. They're all about life, in a weird and quirky way. Some songs are hilarious and others are just plain thought provoking. If you're interested in learning more about this band, this is the documentary to watch. We meet Daniel Smith, founder of pre-mentioned bands, and learn about how everything started. Things are explained related to band members, who they are, are they really related, music content, costumes, etc. It was also cool to see Daniel Johnston a bit in there. Besides learning about all of the band members, there's also a sprinkling of live footage throughout. We also learn what's in store for the future and Smith's current projects. If you're not that into music and/or don't really like documentaries, this probably isn't the film for you. I really enjoyed it though. Thanks for the suggestion Shorb!
