About This Movie

So, there's this documentary called 'Pay Up Cheaters: The Story of the Beat Farmers' from 2012. It dives into the life of this San Diego band, The Beat Farmers, who were pretty influential in the roots rock scene. It’s filled with interviews from the band members like Jerry Raney and Country Dick Montana, and a few familiar faces like Dwight Yoakam and Dr. Demento pop in too. The pacing is laid-back, kind of like a jam session, which fits the vibe of their music. The film does a solid job at capturing their unique sound and the culture surrounding them, with just the right mix of nostalgia and raw energy. Definitely a worthwhile watch for fans of the genre.
