I wound up buying the video on Ebay. Watched it the other night, great movie! 
I think anyone who's ever been in a band can relate to some, if not all, of those moments. Great story nonetheless. Good acting by a pretty much unknown (at least in the US) actors and actresses (when the most recognizable name in the cast is Scottish comic Billy Connolly, it makes you wonder if you really want to watch this
). Biggest complaint is that the kid playing guitar apparently doesn't have a clue how to even fake it. He's strumming chords while you hear a guitar solo, too busy striking poses I guess to worry about making it look like he's really playing. Still, it didn't detract from a great story and convincing acting.
BTW- The bass player with a chip on his shoulder kinda reminded me of someone.

But sometimes when it comes up, I laugh a big ha ha ha
