LouieB Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Of all the remnants of Uncle Tupelo, The Bottle Rockets get the least play. But after seeing them the other night, I highly recommend their new album and if they come to your town you go check them out. I'm not saying that what they do isn't somewhat derivative, but as derivation goes, their brand is highly entertaining and energetic. This is a bunch of guys who have persevered over the last 20 years and are finally getting some due. Also when the movie of their show of the Champaign High Dive show is finally released give that a look. I did some camera work on it, but the whole package is both entertaining and informative about the St. Louis scene of the late 80s and early 90s. Getting to be a long time ago now. It should be posted on YouTube in a couple weeks and maybe there will be an actual screening in St. Louis. But in the meantime do check out their new album on Bloodshot.

LouieB Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 http://nodepression.com/video/welcome-our-movie-bottle-rockets-live-person The Bottle Rockets movie has finally surfaced with a premier on No Depression. All those interested in these guys and Uncle Tupelo need to watch this. I hope the link works, but if not check out no No Depression - Welcome to Our Movie. So fun.
