An immersive archival journey through the explosive New York music scene of the early 2000s. Set against the backdrop of 9/11 and a world unaware of the seismic political, technological and cultural shifts about to occur, Meet Me in the Bathroom, tells the story of the last great romantic age of Rock’n’Roll through the prism of a handful of era defining bands; THE STROKES, LCD SOUNDSYSTEM, YEAH YEAH YEAH’s, INTERPOL.
Inspired by Lizzy Goodman’s bestselling book, directors Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace (Shut Up and Play the Hits) is an exploration of myth and music, time and place that
Tells the story of how a new generation kickstarted a musical rebirth for New York City that reverberated around the world.
The documentary immerses you in the pre-social media, pre-gentrification world of New York, as it examines the lives of key figures from each band, the transformation of the city, and the cultural forces that shaped it.
Combining never before seen footage, intimate audio interviews and a visceral sense of time and place, Meet Me in The Bathroom is a raw and authentic evocation of a time The Guardian described as “a flashbulb moment, before everything changed”.
The confessional stories of key figures from each band intersect with the transformation of New York as a city and the cultural forces that shaped it. - Розваги

I’m just glad the Strokes made it out alive. Good genes or good Drs we’ll never know
we're about to find out aren't we
It was the good jeans.
Just good drugs
Well they were rich kids growing up so I’m guessing good Drs
@@3rdeye931 And good genes. When you said “rich kids”, the first thing I thought was the dad is rich and bought himself a staruesque model wife to procreate with. Lo and behold, that was exactly the case. They’re all millionaire/model hybrids. So, yeah, good genes and good doctors.
The “Y Control” riff just-so incredibly sentimental. Karen is a trailblazer.
It’s beyond iconic! That album is easily one of the best of all time. Karen really raised the bar for women in music
I saw her at Barclays. They were magical.
I like the Strokes as much as everyone else but I'm excited to see a spotlight on the YYYs who, imo, were one of the most creative and interesting bands of the garage rock era. It's fitting that the opening of this trailer was Karen with one of their songs
So is "Pin".
@@jdragstra730 pin is insane, and has aged like red wine.
I'm glad The Strokes are being brought to the spotlight again with this documentary. They deserve a lot of credit for hailing the new age of rock music with their masterpiece of a first album. I hope the documentary shows the dedication to the craft The Strokes had and not just them partying or getting fucked up. The skill of the guys, Julian especially, was in a league of it's own and to this day The Strokes produce music that is just a step ahead of their peers. Julian's solo work too is testament's the dude's crazy amount of talent. Either way, excited to watch!
Room on fire is their second masterpiece. I feel it is underappreciated. Not strange though since it was preceded by a cultural behemoth.
@@elderbat3333 Turn on the bright lights was 2002, well after the Strokes broke down the door for everyone else
I think this comes as a result of Jules selling some of his rights to The Strokes songs, it opened the door for them to be used in other media and well, now we have this. But hey, it's just my belief.
It was mentioned in the book. They were using a metronome during rehearsals right from the start. People interviewed in the book were all very impressed by how tight they sounded and how serious they were at that early stage.
i don't think they never lost the spotlight honestly. i think most people know the influence of The Strokes and even know the band name even though they haven't even heard of a single Strokes song lol.
Interpol are the epitome of cool… ❤🖤
This book was fantastic, I was starting college right when this scene kicked off and hearing so many of these bands as they were starting was incredible.
Me too! l graduated high school in '02. Fun times 😭
I was in middle school, but the impact was identical for me. What a fucking decade for music. And this documentary only scratches the surface. With the way rock has become underground, I doubt we’ll ever see an era like this ever again. But we can hope can’t we?
Same! Most definitely giving throwback college vibes.
I grew up listening to The Strokes when I was like 6-7 years old. Every band listed have come into my adult years since I’ve turned 18. New York from 1999-2004 seemed like the last time Rock was ushering in a new era. Truly amazing stuff
Is This It came out the same day I turned 21. That album is the soundtrack to 3 of the most debauched/fun/insane/self-destructive years of my life. Though it has aged very well and I don't think it contains a single weak song from start to finish, I can barely listen to that album without having a series of vivid flashbacks that makes me depressed I don't have a time machine to go back to that era.
@@SS-gx7tg Ok can imagine the impact it had. 21 and to have that album come into your life at that time, definitely stirs up a lot of memories. You gotta see the music is just that light in your life that you needed
You are incredibly lucky you avoided the whole Dave Matthews shtick and all the clones that followed. You were born at a time when rock was reduced to nu metal douchebaggery, and these guys saved it.
If you haven’t read Lizzie Goodman’s book, I’d recommend reading it first. This is gonna be electric
why does Albert not want to watch this?
I was 14 or 15 years old when I found the Strokes. They opened a whole new door for me. I moved from a rural town to the city. I was lonely a lot of the time and felt alienated in a new place. Music truly was everything to me. Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights is another pillar of music that sticks with me to this day. This era of music changed me and inspired me. I can't help but feel waves of nostalgia, happiness, and bittersweet semi-sadness when I think back to this period. These records have been a comfort to me through many trials and triumphs. I bought a ticket to NYC in 2012. I remember sitting in an apartment in Brooklyn and the host was playing interpol. It was such a magical time for me. Even now, I think of the woman I loved driving around in the city to Turn on the Bright Lights. I miss her still. I love these albums so much. They're a permanent staple in my life.
Duuuuude, that’s so touching! Had me at the verge of tears because you described my feelings exactly! Especially the nostalgia factor! Rock on!🤘 Greetings from Portland, OR.🌲
There are certain times & places in music where there is true lightening in a bottle - the Jazz boom in the late 50's & early 60's, San Francisco in the late 60's, Laurel Canyon in the 70's, Detroit techno in the 80's, Seattle grunge in the 90's and then New York in the early 2000's. I'm glad this is getting memorialized...what a time for music and potentially our last great era.
Last? Look at London now.
Sunset Strip
@@Archie.Fisher whats going on there?
@@TheTricktracktruck Revival of various rock genres. Black Midi, Squid, and Black Country, New Road are the main players in the scene at the moment.
@@Archie.Fisher last was probably referred to the US, and if that’s the case I completely agree! We got so much going on over here in the UK.
Both The Strokes and Interpol and such important pillars in what inspires me not just in music but in life. The sounds those people make have shaken me to my core in such an intense and wonderful way. As someone who is a freshman in college, they helped shape my high school years and will continue to do so into the foreseeable future. These guys are my hero’s and I doubt I would be exactly who I am today if not for them. My love for music has always been and always will be because of people like them, people who actually give a shit about making damn good music, and I live for it, truly.
Saw this through this year’s virtual Sundance Film Fest, it hit me right in the feels. Does a fantastic job chronicling the mood of those days in NYC and where indie music culture was at the time
I was 15 when 'is this it' dropped. insane how quickly the scene blew up. i'm a bit of an outsider in my friends group in terms of musical taste (mostly electronica), but these are records everyone loved to put on and smoke and drink and sing along to. the shared experiences we had getting down to this music are some of my fondest memories, and I'm forever thankful for the bands that gave us that music.
I cannot wait to relive it. I was 18 graduating high school in 2000 and going and watching bands was everything to me.
I am fortunate enough to have seen the strokes three times and yeah yeah yeahs once so far although they are coming back around again so perhaps I will get to go again!
1999-2001 I went from 6th grade, where everyone had bleached hair, pookashell necklaces listened to Blink 182, to Junior High where suddenly everyone had converse shoes, tight jeans, and shaggy hair, because The Strokes debuted on TRL on MTV. The pre-internet age was so different. This warms my soul.
I was not there when it happened but now i am so grateful to be able to ride the wave of their immense love and change to this world. We hardly know how change is gonna happen but with these beautiful people, these sweetest souls our home is a better place. The music is changing, the angles are flowering with the most beautiful way possible. I am so happy to be in this journey with you all. Thank you so much for everything!!! ❤
Ok. Now we just need to make Our Band Could Be Your Life into a documentary cause that’s all I wished for 🤞🤞
I'm about the same age as the Strokes, and Is This It dropped right when I started my career in advertising. Their music became the soundtrack to my boozy 20s.
Now I have kids and barely drink lol. I can't wait to watch this because every time I hear Is This It, I think of how much fun the 2000s were for me.
sorry about what happened to you in Prometheus tho
@@ancientteenager7880 thank you. The Strokes’ music has helped me deal with my trauma.
I consider myself lucky that I got to be 50 feet from The Yeah Yeah Yeahs the other night at the MGM Fenway in Boston. It was my first time seeing them, and man, they are just freaking INSANE live. Karen O hits every single note pitch perfect. She has maintained her level of being a theatrical performer without having to hurt herself like this film shows. I am so glad they stayed together this long and are playing better than ever. Had to watch this documentary again last night.
The Strokes … My heart … I was 14 when Is This It came out and it ushered me into my adolescence and my city, New York, New York … Can’t wait for this.
Reading the book, I wished I could go back and tell my 12 year old self to age 8 years and move to New York. The book and the music give me nostalgia for a place and a time I wasn't there for.
I feel the exact same way. I was too young at the time to really be part of it, yet still feel I was there in a strange spiritual way.
As someone who was the same age, I can say that as long you were old enough to listen to the music, you were part of the scene. That’s cool enough, appreciate that!
What a time to be young. Hearing the Strokes on the radio for the first time and then seeing their video is how I imagine it felt like for someone of an older generation seeing The Sex Pistols on Bill Grundy or Smells Like Teen Spirit late at night on MTV. It was THAT important.
It really wasn’t. I remember the exact moment they played on the big “rock” station. I was blown away that actual rock and roll was playing. It felt like it all went too fast, and to be fair The Strokes were the first to seem like they were ephemeral. Good music all around, but it wasn’t a revolution.
@@wellesradio agree 100%. Nothing close to what Nirvana did in 91 or what Oasis did it the UK in 1994.
@@johngazzola7293 I agree with you and the other naysayer but fuck oasis
@@frankwest911 lol not a fan? You can't deny the impact they had on the British music scene at the time though. The excitement they brought.
@@johngazzola7293 They definitely had an impact which I equate to my daily shit hitting the toilet water. They made a splash. But their annoying arrogant attitudes (comparing themselves to the Beatles etc) and God awful voice just ruined it for me. But I am aware that the UK was heavily effected by their music. We probably wouldn’t have seen as many great artists from that area of the world if not for them. As they’d say over the pond, Oasis can take the piss.
I saw them play at this ain’t no picnic and I am just so happy that I got the chance to see them and thankful for all their albums and bangers they have released up till now. Will be playing yolo at my funeral! ❤
Jesus holy fucking shit. This film basically chronicles the most amazing years of my life, can’t wait.
I like a lot of New York bands. For me Interpol is it!
Just saw YYY recently in Forest Hills in NYC a month ago. Living and working in hospitality in the LES, I've had the pleasure of serving and seeing Julian often, Paul Banks sometimes and Ezra Koenig too. I'm in my thirties now, and all these alternative bands of the aughts have been a huge part of my formative teen and young adult years.
i loved a lot of those bands. they were part of my soundtrack in my 20s when they were around. i saw the YYYs in atlanta twice. once in a club in 2003 and at the tabernacle in 2006. i'm in my 40s now and i just bought the new YYYs album which i'm waiting for to arrive in the mail. i still love to buy physical product.
Interpol and TV on the Radio!!!
Karen O gave young women so much freedom to be who they want on stage! Love her
I had the pleasure to watch this last year when Sundance had an online viewing. Highly recommend it, literally one of the best rock documentaries I've seen in a long time. If you've read the book, you'll love this. It really captures the New York scene at the time and makes you feel there. So happy this era of music is finally getting its long due flowers in the history of rock n roll.
Soooo many Memories rushing back ! Super excited for this documentary! The Good..The Bad..The Ugly! But most important The Best Time I had In my young life! These bands Were everything! 🖤
Great they're making a film out of the book. This is an essential cultural touchstone, it's the moment when rock was saved.
the book was so good!! I knew it would be a movie
My heart 🥹❤️❤️ This was such a golden era for rock lovers, I cant wait~! 💗
Wish i was old enough back then
INTERRRRPOOOOOOOOOL
Interpol is life.
A truly great book. I'm excited for the documentary 🍻
A life changing time for me personally. This group of bands fundamentally changed the type of music I listened. The Strokes obviously came out with the biggest “bang” and they definitely had the chops. Although that first proper Interpol album - “Turn on the Bright Lights”.. man that thing was such a fully formed beauty. Got me back into rhythm guitar. Probably the most polished of all the debuts to come from the scene. Also interesting to see the staying power of each band. definitely want to check this out.
Okay, so I'm not a special snowflake for feeling exactly this way? Noted ✅
@@ijustneedmyself haha! That’s right, you are not alone! 🙏🏽🎶🎼
@@mattengland653 Life changing!! The most fun time of my life. Those bands introduced me to so many old bands. I'm forever grateful. The Interpol message board also introduced me to 3 of my current friends!
@jamie mellor ❤️❤️❤️
INTERPOL YES BABY
YESSSSSSSS!! The strokes have been my favorites since I was little. Love the other bands featured in this too. I’m so excited man
Paul Banks answering the interviewers question about there being an apparent scene is adorable
The Strokes and Interpol my favourites!
Same 💜
I can’t wait for this…this is like a time capsule of my college years in nyc
so incredibly excited for this!
Read the book years ago and loved it so looking forward to this
I understand that this documentary is focused on the New York scene of the 2000s, but I am sad that there is no general documentary of the garage rock revival scene of the decade.
There were a lot of great bands, like The Libertines, The Vines, The Hives, Franz Ferdinand, etc. Hopefully one day someone will dare to make a more complete documentary.
They didn’t focus on those bands given they are British but also mainly due to the focus of many bands starting in/ being from New York City becoming popular post 9/11. So the documentary is more like a commentary on America in a way. I definitely agree that it would be nice to showcase those amazing bands but it’s clear the documentary is centered to discuss how these bands represent a music scene that impacted an American generation in a time when we literally did not know what the hell was going to happen in NYC after 9/11.
For what it’s worth, The Hives were mentioned in the book. They called them “The Swedish Strokes”.
Esos banda's fueron vendidos. La escena de Detroit y New York fur lo mejora. En Los Angeles la escena fue AFI y Greenday pero la de NYC fue muy mitico pero Nunca fue televisado como libtewrines.
Es como si hacierpn un doc de rockdrigo,maldota vecindad y te cejas por que no pusieron Mana.... No mms . Mana ya tuvo su momento por televisa deja los independentes tener su momento.
Read the book. Kings of Leon, Arade Fire, Arctic Monkeys and other 00's bands are featured prominently.
This is my middle school/high school days.. man it was a great time to be a rocker.. great bands and fun times.. ❤ I miss my lost iPod nano.. Ambulance Ltd, Appleseed Cast, The Stills, The Hives, the list just goes on…
The Strokes are kings. So underappreciated
it's up to me now turn on the bright lights 🎶
Really great documentary! Super recommended, especially if you were into any of these bands
That bit about Julian absolutely crushesssss me. I can't wait to see this. I love the Strokes so much.
I LOVED this film. Having lived through most of this period there... truly captured the atmosphere. I recommend it to all my friends.
What’s crazy is the strokes are even better now
Its crazy to feel nostalgic for this era. Still seems like yesterday to me.
Can't wait to see this! LOVE.
Im so hyped for the strokes
so obsessed with when they're flashing the names of the bands when *that* part of Y Control is playing.
absolutely scratching my brain and I've rewatched like 50 times now.
cannot wait to see this! yay showtime for acquiring!
Yeah Yeah Yeahs are such an amazing iconic band. Karen O is a true Rock goddess. ❤
I'm definitely gonna watch this, I miss the 2000's so much
This is my favorite book!!!!!!!! I can't believe it's a movie! Going to see the Walkmen in April!
I really loved that book man. Hope they make a great job out of it
What a fun and interesting doc. I learned alot about the music i love. TY for making it.
This documentary inspired this poem and if you found it than it’s for anyone and everyone that can relate. This era was during the prime of my youth and let’s not forget how truly special and unique it was.
Here’s to the great innovators whom
had the vision to be the authors of our
brief utopia, which now seems like a distant
dream yet remains just as vivid as the drums
that yielded a freedom and carelessness that
Is now substituted by fear and anxiety, our dream snatched by the circumstances of fate,
But let not we forget that moment in time when creativity reigned over the lightness of our hearts, and within our minds created the very definition of what youth once was. That will always be worth remembering
been waiting for this for years, so excited
More footage from the strokes. Keen to see it. Since the only in transit doc.
I'm sad that I was about 10 years too young to be there, but still old enough to be an Interpol fan since 2004.
Same. I was getting into Interpol in 2003 when I was only in 7th grade.
Love Adam Green at the end too, what a time
Thank you very much indeed, The Strokes! Legends!!
Interpol and Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs were getting big when I was in middle and high school. So they mean a lot to me in particular, but this whole era does as well. Can't wait to see this. I better also read the book.
GOD I am so excited 🥰🥰💗💗
The big bang in my life, literally 💙
SO excited!
This is giving me feels ❤Hits close to home 😢
i hope it’s not just focused on the strokes and we get to see some more of the moldy peaches i love them
Nice! I was looking forward to that doccy so much. Tks.
The minute I read the book I felt robbed that it wasn't a documentary. The book was great but so glad this exists.
I cannot wait
Yeah Yeah Yeahs & The Strokes 🖤
So excited
Ooo I wanna watch this!
I died with this news! 🙌🏼 I can’t wait
Lets goooooooo I’ve been waiting for this one!
Remember reading about the strokes.
Asking about them in a big UK music store, and the staff hadn't heard of them..
Then it happened .. 🙂
oh damn the strokes, good shit aye
to animadão pra ver! o livro da lizzy goodman foi a leitura mais gostosa que eu tive em 2020. você se sente tão imerso naquela cena musical e amigo daquela galera.
acho que a parte do james murphy conceitualizando o que ele queria alcançar com o lcd é a minha favorita, espero que incluam no documentário.
Gotta see this
Can't fucking wait!
Mooney Suzuki was the greatest live band I’ve ever seen. I’ve seen the big names, Metallica, Pink Floyd, U2, etc. when Mooney did the Electric Sweat tour it was an amazing show
THIS IS AMAZING
Interpol, Cure and, then unknown in the USA, Muse at the Curiosa Festival at Randall’s Island…
I liked the book. I want to see INTERPOL
The fact that they went with Y Control really tickles me
Had to be Adam Green at the end 😂
Looked like Julian Casablancas to me but I googled Adam Greene and I think they both look pretty similar to each other so you could very well be right lol
I remember listening to the yeah yeah yeahs for the very first time when they performed Maps live at the 2004 mtv movie awards. After that, I was hooked to their sound PERMANENTLY. I still own their Tell me what rockers to swallow dvd haha. They’ve been my all time favorite band ever since and finally was able to watch them live for the very first time at the Hollywood bowl this year 😭
Esta vaina se ve BRUTAL.
:)
I'm just bustin' to see this
The Realistics were my favorite band from this time. It's criminal that they were overlooked for the documentary. Guessing it's because their album never came out. I found the commentary to be a bit revisionist and one sided. Certainly in regard to how this scene started and putting emphasis on third grade hanger on acts like the Moldy Peaches who have somehow been elevated to mythical status. Saw both the Strokes and Realistics open for each other on what seemed like a weekly basis. Back when there were only a few venues to play and a handful of like-minded bands. It was a great time in NYC. Pure. Real. By the time acts like TV on the Radio started showing up, it was already well over.
I love that Julian hates this book. I completely get where he’s coming from and feel the same way
YEAHHHHHHHHHHH
OMFGGGGGG OMFG IM CRYING
