The Garlic Phantoms: Esplendor y caída

a film by Juan Pérez-Fajardo

The Garlic Phantoms took the concept of one-hit wonder to the extreme: they have just one song. Called The Garlic Phantoms. Very few bands managed to take that little that far. So, one concert, one song. Here, for example, you can see the complete concert of The Garlic Phantoms at Sonorama Ribera on 10 August 2019. All 4 minutes and 51 seconds of it. You may not like it, and most probably you won’t, but at least it’s short. Respect.

Now it seems only logical to take it to a new height by making the film about the rise and fall of The Garlic Phantoms. Fair enough, although you need to have some balls to do this after This is Spın̈al Tap. But keep it short, for Foo Fighters sake. There’s just not enough jokes for flipping 75 minutes.
