“This doesn’t feel like a normal fashion event,” Maggie Rogers said after landing in the lobby just before 8 p.m. on Thursday to attend Celine at The Wiltern, Hedi Slimane’s runway presentation for the French fashion house’s winter ’23 collection. “What I’m so excited for tonight is that being at The Wiltern feels incredibly creative and it has the ability to catch someone off guard. That’s when people get creative, when they can sense creativity in the air and be surprised.”
Rogers was right — this was not an average fashion function. From the moment Celine announced it would be presenting in L.A. by taking over the marquee at the iconic venue on the corner of Western and Wilshire, fashion insiders were buzzing about the spectacle to come.

The best scene in Meet Me In the Bathroom, the excellent new documentary on the rock & roll scene that slouched into New York in the beginning of the 21st century: a parking lot under the Williamsburg Bridge, Brooklyn, Labor Day weekend, 2002. An afternoon punk show, maybe semi-quasi-not-illegal. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are playing; so are the Liars and Oneida and the Rogers Sisters. The parking lot is packed with kids, crammed onto roofs, balconies, the nearby bridge. Neighbors stare out of apartment windows. I’m down in the crowd. In the footage here,...

Was the last rock renaissance really in New York City in the aughts? That’s the claim filmmakers Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace make with their documentary adaptation of music journalist Lizzie Goodman’s book “Meet Me in the Bathroom: Rebirth and Rock and Roll in New York City 2001-2011.”
This scuzzy, dreamy nonfiction greatest hits compilation prefers lyricism to reportage, with testimony told entirely in voiceover instead of talking heads. It’s also entirely a montage of on-the-fly found footage — of concerts, early interviews, Courtney Love flashing her boobs to a crowd of frothing onlookers during her 24-hour MTV takeover — and . The Strokes, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the Moldy Peaches, James Murphy, and Interpol all get significant play here, with the film going back to their DIY roots in Lower Manhattan — but leaves us hanging from there. In other ones, “Meet Me” is music to the ears of their...

The Strokes find themselves in the midst of a hurricane of hype in a new clip from the upcoming documentary, Meet Me in the Bathroom.
Inspired by Lizzy Goodman’s 2017 book of the same name, the film chronicles New York City’s early-2000s indie rock boom, of which the Strokes were a central part. Set to the band’s 2001 staple, “Last Nite,” the new clip features an array of footage from the Strokes’ breakthrough moment, with some wild shows and plenty of intriguing archival bits of the band touring the U.

New York, a city responsible for bands such as The Velvet Underground, Blondie and Ramones, was a cultural wasteland by the late 90s and the wider music scene was pumping out shlock like Limp Bizkit and Hoobastank.
As Adam Green says in the opening scenes of Meet Me In The Bathroom, a documentary based on Lizzy Goodman’s oral history of nYc’s musical rebirth, “Maybe New York wasn’t the kind of city anymore that produces iconic bands”.
Then came The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV on the Radio, LCD Soundsystem and many more over the next ten years, turning the Lower East Side and Brooklyn into hipster havens.
I remember the excitement when The Strokes, a gang of good-looking skinny boys with filthy hair and a filthier attitude, broke, in part thanks to the British music press, as I hustled for a copy of their Rough Trade debut...

Loosely based on the oral history by journalist Lizzy Goodman, Meet Me In The Bathroom attempts to chronicle indie rock at the turn of the century when bands like The Strokes and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs gave New York a new lease of life. Goodman’s book is an epic tome but Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace pare it down to a few, easily digestible strands, also spending time on TV On The Radio, Interpol and LCD Soundsystem, whose mouthpiece James Murphy proves the biggest personality here, a raconteur in the classic New York scenester mould.
As with Goodman’s book, the New York setting is inseparable from these artists. An early sequence flashes on the city’s earlier luminaries, from Lou Reed to Wu Tang Clan’s Odb, a history these bands were overtly familiar with. But where Goodman offered...

Considering the myriad of exciting topics and subtopics packed within the running time of Meet Me In The Bathroom -- Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace’s impressively dense adaptation of Lizzy Goodman’s loaded oral history of the New York music scene to emerge from the new millennium -- I found the film pretty challenging to review. (It didn't help that I also had covid.) Suffice it to say, as artifacts go, in this strange new age of hyper-documented reality, so much of which is written on the walls of this film, I think it's a pretty important chapter of the American rockumentary canon, if not a century-culminating bookend. It seems that eras are only truly defined in retrospect and, now that we’re finally able to unpack...

Meet Me In The Bathroom, Lizzy Goodman’s oral history of the New York music scene that emerged from the ashes of the 20th century, is essential rock-and-roll reading for anyone with an even passing interest in modern pop culture… and not just those with a vested interest in the early NY bands that bridged the gap between the record industry, as it had essentially existed since its inception, and the indie boom that grew out of the cataclysmic wake of online downloading in the not too distant future. Not so unlike how Easy Riders, Raging Bulls, in tracing the rise of the New Hollywood ethos also captured the downfall of the once impenetrable classic Hollywood institution, in detailing the ascent of bands like The Strokes,...

Adapting Lizzy Goodman’s novel of the same name, Will Lovelace and Dylan Southern’s Meet Me in the Bathroom captures the essence of late-90s, early-2000s New York, covering the periods right before and after 9/11. For primarily capturing the rise of the Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and LCD Soundsystem, it represents a nostalgia for a time of independence, a moment in which an entire music scene could bloom out of near nothingness. Full of live concert footage and archival interviews, the documentary finds the two U.K.-based filmmakers embracing the shaggy, messy nature of the bands they’re depicting.

An accurate measure of great music would probably be connected to longevity. In other words the notion that an individual song or album will sound as rewarding after the 20th play as the first, or more relevantly for this documentary, as exciting 20 years after the more innocent days of 2002.
For the music and music scene on display in Meet Me in the Bathroom––a documentary chronicle of NYC’s turn-of-the-millennium indie-band boom directed by British duo Will Lovelace and Dylan Southern (who also made LCD Soundsystem study Shut Up and Play the Hits)––a vital attribute, as opposed to mere quality, is “cool.” And viewing this film conjures flicking leftwards, rather than rightwards, on your Facebook profile picture, cringing slightly at those low-resolution mementos from the mid-00s. If “good” is more arguable, the likes of the Strokes, Interpol, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and LCD now seem conclusively uncool while the...

There’s a montage early on in Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace’s documentary “Meet Me in the Bathroom” that is bound to give any geriatric millennial pause. The year is 1999. It’s New Year’s Eve in New York City. President Bill Clinton is speaking on television, full of optimism for the new century, while doomsday preppers stock up on ammo in anticipation of the Y2K bug plunging the world into a technological dark age. With the Twin Towers looming peacefully in the background and nary a cell phone in sight, five Manhattanites barely out of their teens are poised to emerge as the saviors of rock and roll, which as far as anyone knows will continue to occupy the center of popular music for years to come. Was that really that long ago? Were we ever so young?

Maggie Rogers remembers the morning of her college graduation at Radio City Music Hall in May 2016. It was 4:30 am, and she was the first NYU student to arrive. She stood on the proscenium, looked out at six thousand empty seats, and began to cry.
Rogers made a promise to herself that she would return to the stage of Radio City in 10 years. It took her three; this month, Rogers performed two sold out shows at the iconic venue. However, sitting down in a swanky hotel restaurant in the Lower...

Maggie Rogers is climbing all over my questions. The 24-year-old singer-songwriter once toyed with being a journalist, and has strong opinions about how I’m conducting our interview. Famously, her track “Alaska”, which she wrote and performed for Pharrell Williams at an NYU masterclass in 2016, made him well up. But when I ask her if she is bored of talking about this, she says framing it that way is “negative” and “annoying”. “A better way to ask that,” she suggests, “is ‘how did it feel?’”
Oh, Ok, how did it feel? “First of all, the whole Pharrell and going viral thing is an essential part of my story,” she says. “It’s how most people know me. I’d be showing up in places like France and they’d be like, ‘Tell us about Pharrell’, but I realise that I haven’t really given people anything else to talk about yet.
