A comedic slice of Indie Rock Apocalypse, Altamont Now is a biting satire of how the “alternative” youth culture of America lifts its rebellion from the past. It’s the 30th anniversary of the Rolling Stones’ disastrous concert at Altamont.
Deep inside an abandoned nuclear missile silo in the middle of the California desert, indie rock legend-turned recluse Richard Havoc and his band of alt-rock misfits sequester themselves 15 stories underground as a giant F-U to “The Man.” When a mysteriously square journalist infiltrates the gratingly endless parade of “Alternative Nation” posturing and lame angst-y whining, all Hell breaks loose. Can the power of rock save Havoc and the world from nuclear devastation?
