We're Livin' on Dog Food is this raw, gritty dive into a specific slice of Melbourne's underground music scene from '77 to '81. The film's pacing feels almost like a jam session, with musicians like Rowland S. Howard and Ollie Olsen sharing their chaotic memories and tensions. It's not polished, it's real, filled with warts and all honesty. The atmosphere is thick with nostalgia but also a sense of unresolved animosity. You get this feeling of community, but also fragmentation, which just adds to the charm. There's a tangible energy in the performances, a mix of humor and bitterness that reflects the era's spirit. It’s a document of a time when the music was as much about rebellion as it was about expression.
