Warmed-Over Krautrock

What happens when your passion for music isn’t reciprocated? This is the dilemma faced by Walt (Jim Tavaré), who runs Essential Music, an independent record store nestled in the vibrant Silver Lake neighborhood. Walt is acutely aware that his days of punk-rock fame are slipping into the past, yet he can’t resist sharing tales of his heyday with his younger staff. Among them is Lysette (Kate Dalton), who deals with a stream of customers who believe she’s their ideal Record Store Girl; Chris (Derek James Elstro), the frontman of Troubled Meats, a band on the brink of success, at least in Chris’ eyes; and Duane (Adam Weber), a well-intentioned music enthusiast whose deep knowledge of Rock Critic lingo sometimes gets the better of him. “WARMED-OVER KRAUTROCK” is a comedy that celebrates a love for all music genres, appealing to those who have ever been consumed by curating playlists—and to those who have been exasperated by such enthusiasts.
