You Can Color Outside the Lines
You Can Color Outside the Lines chronicles the rise and lasting impact of the Big Boys, the wildly original Austin band who fused punk, funk, skateboarding, performance art, humor, and radical self-expression into something entirely their own. Long before genre-blending became fashionable, the Big Boys were creating a world where creativity mattered more than rules.
Narrated by Damian Abraham of Fucked Up and the podcast Turned Out A Punk, the documentary features appearances and interviews with a lineup of punk, skateboarding, and creative legends including Ian MacKaye, Steve Albini, Jeff Ament, Tony Alva, Keith Morris, J Mascis, Fred Armisen, Mike Watt, John Doe, Exene Cervenka, David Yow, Glenn E. Friedman and many more.
At its heart, You Can Color Outside the Lines isn’t just a music documentary. It is a celebration of individuality, DIY culture, skateboarding, friendship, art, and the power of creating your own path.
