The filmmakers select a house that is set to be demolished in a certain city and ask a member of a local band to curate the event. In one day they shoot all of the selected bands giving each band an hour to set up and perform with no overdubs or corrections. They document the house’s history and subsequent demolition, creating bookends for the performances on the DVD. As of May 16, 2008, four volumes have been released.
