The Jim Carroll Band

It almost feels like MTV accidentally wandered onto the set.

But the soundtrack is fantastic and I love that the band in the warehouse scene is the Jim Carroll Band.

If that name sounds familiar it's because Jim Carroll is the writer and musician portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio in The Basketball Diaries.

It's one of those little connections that makes movie nerds smile.

Tickets are available via Ticketmaster.

Shout-out to Brett in Orewa, Justin somewhere in Tamaki, and to the texter that, uh, asked me to play some, was it Jimmy Carroll Band? [upbeat music] Jim Carroll Band.

Sorry, man, I, I couldn't drag any into the system.

Sofia Ross also.
