About

Matt and Jay's attempt to secure a gig at the Rivoli misfires and sends the musical duo back to 2008.

The film is a Canadian science-fiction comedy directed by Matt Johnson. Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol play fictionalised versions of themselves, Matt and Jay, who form the musical duo Nirvanna the Band. The two are Toronto musicians who keep trying to secure a performance at the Rivoli. Their plans have repeatedly failed, and they have not written or recorded a song or approached the venue's management. A new attempt to get a show at the Rivoli goes wrong, and Matt and Jay are sent back in time to 2008.

Based on Nirvana the Band the Show, Nirvanna the Band the Show
