It’s the turn of the century. New York’s music scene is flatlining. Enter The Strokes, all surly insouciance, torn denim and tattered Converse. Theirs is an electrifying din; mixing distorted vocals with spindly guitars, it’s the defibrillator that the rock ’n’ roll scene so badly needs. From grimy graffiti-covered toilet stalls in dingy dive bars, these five New Yorkers stumble bleary-eyed out onto the biggest stages on the planet.
In Meet Me in the Bathroom, a new documentary based on journalist Lizzy Goodman’s 2017 book of the same name, directors Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace journey back to this strange and distant land. They return with a treasure trove of grainy archive footage capturing the creative upheaval that produced era-defining bands, including Yeah Yeah Yeahs, LCD Soundsystem, Interpol, TV on the Radio, and The Moldy Peaches. “Those bands built a scene in a really DIY way, without...

Unsentimental documentary looks back at 00s bands from the Strokes to Yeah Yeah Yeahs in the context of 9/11 and upheavals in the music industry
The resurgent indie rock scene in New York at the millennium’s turn is the focus of this interestingly un-nostalgic documentary, based on an oral history of the same title by Lizzy Goodman – and the title is in fact that of a song by the Strokes, inspired by lead singer Julian Casablancas’s rumoured relationship with Courtney Love.
The movie revives the memory of white-hot NYC bands in their pouting pomp: the Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the Rapture and Interpol, and contextualises them with the global tragedy of 9/11 and the growing upheavals in New York and the music industry itself. Bands who sang of passion, rage, anxiety and dislocation found they were right in the middle of an undreamt-of new zeitgeist; knocked sideways by the attack on the World Trade Center,...
