Claypool himself plays the role of drummer-singer Lapland "Lapdog" Miclovik of rising jam-band Electric Apricot, heading to the holy grail of festivals, Festeroo.

The Electric Apricot also made an appearance at the South by Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas, in 2007.

Besides the leads, notable names in the cast include Bob Weir, Mike Gordon, Warren Haynes, Seth Green, Matt Stone, Wavy Gravy, Dian Bachar, Arj Barker, Gabby La La, Sirena Irwin and Sam Maccarone.

Variety's reviewer wrote of the film, "Les Claypool's laid-back mockumentary about a fictional jam band generates enough mild humor to keep the spoof rolling, but lacks the commitment and scope, not to mention the originality, of a This Is Spinal Tap.

"[4] An Associated Press reviewer wrote that, "the film is even less funny than it is original, even though Claypool has recruited the likes of the Grateful Dead's Bob Weir and Phish's Mike Gordon to instill a bit of street cred.
