Bandwagon is a 1996 film by writer/director John Schultz, starring Lee Holmes and Kevin Corrigan. The movie has since gained Cult film status.
Production
Writer/director John Schultz used to drum for independent band The Connells but left them early on to start a filmmaking career.Bandwagon was not only the first feature film for Schultz but for a lot of the crew members as well. Schultz said, "On the shoot, we didn't really realize what we were doing right and what we were doing wrong and a lot of the problems we found in the editing room." The film was made in 1993 in Schultz's hometown of Raleigh, North Carolina and took six weeks to complete.
Greg Kendall is a singer/guitarist who was hired to write the songs for the band in the film. He was introduced to Schultz by mutual friend Doug MacMillan who plays Linus Tate in the movie. He said, "They were to have good songs, but they had to be believable. They couldn't be too stupid and they couldn't be too ornate." Schultz supplied the titles to the songs and Kendall wrote and sang most of them. They were recorded at Fort Apache Studios in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Eight of his songs appear in the film and he also composed the score. Kendall likes that "there's nothing MTV about it [the film]. It's naive, some would say to a fault. I would say it's a strength."
Bandwagon is a half-hour music program featuring traditional dance music, most notably polka, performed in front of a studio audience dancing along. The program is produced and broadcast by KEYC-TV in Mankato, Minnesota. The show is currently in its 48th year, making it possibly the longest-running televised music program in the world. The first music show on KEYC aired on November 21, 1960; the title Bandwagon was added on March 30, 1961.
In the past, the show was sponsored by John Deere, and aired as the John Deere Bandwagon; later it was sponsored Randall's, a defunct Midwestern supermarket chain, and similarly titled as Randall's Bandwagon. The show does not currently have a title sponsor.
Earl Lamont was the original host of the program. Chuck Pasek, began hosting the program in 1961. Dick Ginn, who worked for Randall's and was involved in their sponsorship of the show since the 1970s, joined Pasek in hosting in the early 1990s. Following Chuck Pasek's retirement in 1995, Tom Goetzinger began co-hosting the program.
They want to know what you believe in. Before the bandwagon takes off. There'll be no fair rule games to play. You'll suck on shit but that's o.k. You'll sell your soul for what a price. It sounded real but now just nice. Between what you want and what you need. Succumb to other peoples' greed. So you've got no self insurance. But does it matter. Just doesn't matter. Perfunctory actions on a stage. Forget your friends and just get paid. Relinquish yourself with one last choke. A courageous band is now a joke. Forget about friends you were talking about.
