Early Aughts NYC Rock in 'Meet Me in the Bathroom'

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Nov 2, 2022

The early 2000s in New York City ushered in a new wave of rock bands that included The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and LCD Soundsystem. A new documentary, "Meet Me in the Bathroom," based on the oral history book from writer Lizzy Goodman, tells the story of that moment and those bands. Goodman joins us along with one of the film's directors, Dylan Southern, and musician Adam Green, whose band the Moldy Peaches also emerged from this scene. "Meet Me in the Bathroom" opens November 4 at the IFC Center and on November 8 widely, and will be available to stream on Showtime starting November 25.
