In the free movies / Sundance On Demand section of Charter channel 999 is a great documentary featuring Robyn Hitchcock. What I found so interesting is that it is a collaboration with some pretty amazing people.
Celebrated for his wry, darkly comic, twisted rock songs, British singer-songwriter Robyn Hitchcock is profiled in this Sundance Channel original documentary, directed by John Edginton. Hitchcock and the band Venus 3 — featuring REM veterans Peter Buck, Scott McCaughey and Bill Rieflin — are observed recording an album of new material at Hitchcock's London house. Later, Hitchcock is seen performing live in Hoboken, New Jersey, and Seattle. With appearances by musicians Morris Windsor, Nick Lowe, John Paul Jones and Gillian Welch.
The footage of all these musicians rehearsing and performing in Robyn's house is really entertaining. They end up going on tour and there is some footage from that as well.
check it out.
