Documentary 'Meet Me in the Bathroom' Chronicles 2000s NYC Post-Punk Revival
Directors Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace have made a documentary titled 'Meet Me in the Bathroom,' based on Lizzy Goodman's 2017 book of the same name. The film explores the early 2000s New York post-punk scene, featuring bands like The Strokes, LCD Soundsystem, Interpol, The Rapture, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs. It uses unseen footage and intimate audio interviews to capture the era just before 9/11 and the subsequent gentrification of New York.
