Synopsis

The east and northeast areas (aka “the eastside”) of Los Angeles have become an indie rock hub drawing musicians, venues, labels, studios, and fans to the area of Silver Lake, Echo Park, Highland Park and Eagle Rock.  PASS THE MUSIC explores the concept of “making it” and what it means to bands today.  The film takes a look at several bands at key parts in the their careers – from those starting out to those at a crossroads. For many bands the pressure of success is intense and whether it’s selling enough records to tour the world or simply making enough to quit their day job, the risk and reward these bands face are very real.
