Tributary

TRIBUTARY is a quick, intimate exploration of the forces driving a subculture of rock bands to imitate other rock bands. Shot during a heyday of the tribute scene in the late 1990s, TRIBUTARY follows 25 different tribute bands from New York, Detroit, Chicago, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles, and distills the essence of how those bands can turn homage into a cottage industry while struggling to keep their own identities in the process.
