Watch The Trailer For The LCD Soundsystem Documentary

Given the Sabauteur predilection for music documentaries, we have to admit some excitement and interest in the forthcoming LCD Soundsystem doc, Shut Up And Play The Hits. Not only is this film a music documentary, but it captures the end of a good band pulling their own plug. This is a phenomenon near and dear to our hearts, as exhibited in our love for end of days indie docs like Tell Me Do You Miss Me and A Good Band Is Easy To Kill.

The film chronicles the final live performance of the band at New York City's Madison Square Garden in April of 2011. Stylistically, the approach appears to be a combination of live footage mixed with LCD frontman, James Murphy talking about the end of the band. Adding to ourgeekish interest in the film, is the fact that Murphy is interviewed in these segments by the terrific cultural essayist and author, Chuck Klosterman.

Shut Up And Play The Hits will make its debut at the Sundance Film Festival later this month. You can watch the trailer below.
