Film on Seattle underground scene. Rare concert footage, debut performances, interviews. Incl. 1st-ever live performance of Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit. Also rare footage by Soundgarden, Mudhoney, Melvins, Blood Circus, Coffin Break, Crackerbash, Dead Moon, Fastbacks, Flop, Gas Huffer, Gits, Hammerbox, Love Battery, Mono Men, Posies, Seaweed, 7 Year Bitch, Some Velvet Sidewalk, Supersuckers, Young Fresh Fellows, & Zipgun. Widescreen. 84 min. CC. Dolby Surround. Filmed over a 3-1/2 year period, "Hype!" takes a close, hard look at Seattle's "grunge" music scene, from its origins in the basements of young musicians in the 1980s to its worldwide popularity in the early 1990s, thanks largely to Nirvana's song "Smells Like Teen Spirit." Interviews and performance footage of Seattle musicians (both famous and unknown), provide insight into the history of grunge, most notably its effect on the music industry, and its exploitation by the media.
A clever chronicle of the commodification of the Pacific Northwest's celebrated "grunge" rock scene, whose members were lifted out of underground obscurity and propelled into the national spotlight--sometimes to their surprise--after the major-label success of the seminal grunge-pop trio Nirvana. Features rare interviews and performances from the gamut of grungesters, from the candy-pop stylings of The Posies to the rage rock of riot grrrls 7 Year Bitch and the country-punk swaggering of the Supersuckers. Shown at the 1996 Sundance Film Festival.
Released theatrically in New York City November 8, 1996.
Additional credits: Lisa Dutton and Pete Vogt (co-producers); Joan Zapata (editor).
Other music bands featured include The Posies, 7 Year Bitch, Flop, Love Battery, The Melvins.

| | Very Best Of The Eagles CDs (1994) Remastered; Digipak
Hype! DVD
 $20.25  
THE VERY BEST OF includes a 46-page booklet with pictures and track information.
"Hole In The World" was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal.
This 1994 greatest hits package (released in anticipation of the band's wildly successful reunion tour and album) supplants THEIR GREATEST HITS 1971-1975. It adds seven songs, but unfortunately deletes "Already Gone," one of their best rockers.
What's most interesting about THE VERY BEST OF THE EAGLES - apart from the presence of obviously classic songs like "Take It Easy" and "Hotel California" - is that it demonstrates that the band's esthetic was fully formed from day one. Despite the fact that the songs here span nearly a decade, listening to them back to back you could almost believe they were the product of one marathon recording session.
The Eagles' founders Don Henley and Glenn Frey were forthright in their desire to bring then-emerging country rock to new heights of commercial success. Formed in Los Angeles in 1971, they learned from their observations of the scene around them, and subsequently took their music to the top of the charts. They stayed there throughout the '70s, becoming synonymous with the sound of Southern ...

Formed in 1976, the New York City-based glam-metal band Twisted Sister ruled the '80s airwaves with their heavy brand of Motorhead-influenced rock, a garishly made-up image that borrowed from Kiss and Alice Cooper, and a healthy dose of humor made evident in their theatrical live shows and imaginative music videos. Though Twisted ...

Canadian singer/songwriter Ember Swift fuses acoustic punk with left-of-center politics for an unconventional folk sound reminiscent of Ani DiFranco. This program captures Swift in her first concert film with a live performance recorded in Australia.
With her jazz-steeped, acoustic punk stylings, and an astonishing seven recordings under her belt on her own independent "Few'll Ignite Sound" label, Ember Swift continues to solidify her reputation as one of Canada's truly substantial artists.
