We Were Famous, You Don't Remember: The Embarrassment (2023)
Overview
Formed in 1979 in Wichita, Kansas, the so-called “blister pop” band the Embarrassment played major U.S. cities and garnered praise from the likes of Allen Ginsberg, John Cale and Jonathan Demme, but their refusal to compromise their vision made success elusive. Through archival interviews and concert footage, this documentary draws a portrait of the oft-overlooked post-punk legends.
