An up-close cinematic walkabout through the life of Gary Young, the original (and highly unlikely)drummer of indie rock royaltyPavement. His booze and drugs-fueledantics (on-stage handstands, giftingvegetables to fans) and haphazardproduction methods (accidentallyhelping launch the lo-fi aesthetic) wereboth a driving force of the band's earlyrise and the cause of his eventual crashlanding. Leaving a wake of joy and/ordestruction at every turn, Gary teetersthe thin line between free-form self-expression and chaotic self-destruction.Thirty years on with scoliosis, bloodclots, and a shriveled liver, Garycontinued drumming with no regrets.

Featuring: Gary Young, Stephen Malkmus, Scott Kannberg, Bob Nastanovich, Mark Ibold, Chris Lombardi
Music by Pavement, Hospital, Gary Young, CRILL, The Authorities, Fall of Christianity, DUSTdevils, Superchunk, Railroad Jerk, Teenage Fanclub

PRESS

“”I took LSD 375 times,” accompanied by the image of Young as he appears now, are all you need to understand the kind of documentary you're in for. As unique and wide-ranging as its subject’s venerated drum skills.”
-MIKE D‘ANGELO, THE PLAYLIST

Louder Than You Think defies the rules.”
-TRISH CONNELLY, REBEL NOISE

“A must-watch film for any Pavement fan, especially those wanting to know more about the indie rockers’ formative days."
-DAVID ROY, THE IRISH NEWS

“Not only a film about Pavement percussionist Gary Young, but also a shattering exploration of destiny, creativity, and existence."
-ALYSSA MILLER, NO FILM SCHOOL
