Whenever you make a film like this, inventively you’re going to have to cut something that you love because of time. For our second ICFD Podcast we have our first “deleted scene” from the finished documentary. If you saw the rough cut at the DFT last year, this is the Soledad Brothers section.

Even thought they’re not technically from Detroit, The Soledad Brothers have earned their place among the pantheon of the bands in the garage scene. The reason the section was ultimately cut was simply do to timing and the fact that it was at a place in the movie where there were alot of band profiles right in a row. It pained me to do it. The Soledad Brothers are good friends and I’ve directed two music videos for them. So this is my tribute to them. I hope you enjoy it!

PS: The band is not gone from the film completely, a longer performance of the “Handle Song” is now in the Magic Stick section of the film!
