Subversives: The History of Lowest of the Low
Movie · Documentary

Lowest of the Low is a Canadian Band that has been together for over 30 years. They had the record of most independent albums sold until Barenaked Ladies outsold them in the early 1990's. This is a story of how a band that stuck to their guns flying the Indy flag until the major labels came calling in the mid-nineties. It's a story of tenacity and the will to create art without the corporate fingers in the pudding. This film was funded by Simon Head with some contributions from fans of the band. The making of the film parallels the bands ethics and beliefs regarding art & commerce.
