Freaks In Love documents the 25-year career of the seminal psychedelic punk band Alice Donut: from humble beginnings to playing at CBGB, from signing to Alternative Tentacles to performing at Reading Festival and, ultimately, touring with Blind Melon. Throughout their ups and downs, the band has remained friends and created some of the underground’s most compelling music. This is the story of many bands from the late ’80s/ early ’90s, when getting in a van and touring the country was all one could ask for; when free beer and pizza were a luxury. And then it all blew out of proportion with one band – Nirvana. (Alice Donut also performing at CMJ.)
