Tuesday night brought music fans to the basement of The Delancey for the NY premiere of the Jay Buim-directed documentary Todd P Goes to Austin. In a testament to the rock show promoter’s pull, an army of Brooklyn scenesters had ventured over the bridge to attend, as well as characters more often associated with DJ nights than DIY shows.

Prince Terrence, who drums with electro-pop outfit HEARTSREVOLUTION, was among them, as well as Greg and Darren Bresnitz of Finger on the Pulse, whose interests range far beyond the insular nightlife stereotype of nocturnal techno-heads. “I’ve been to my share of Todd P shows,” said Darren.

Despite loud talking and even some making out, the crowd quieted down when the film began. Although named for the DIY dynamo, the documentary follows various bands in addition to Todd and his crew on their trips to Austin for South By Southwest, using the pied piper of punk’s commentary to glue it all together. The little snatches of Todd as humble human were the most interesting parts: sleeping in the van with his face squished up against the seat, fretting that the owner of Austin venue Ms. Bea’s hadn’t called him back and even having a nervous-dad moment when he informed the kid driving the van, “You shouldn’t be going 80. You’re going 80. Don’t go 80.”

The bulk of it, however, was tour footage of bands Todd was working with at the time, like Dan Deacon, The Deathset, Team Robespierre, Mika Miko and Matt and Kim; the latter managed to remain adorable even as they quarreled over whether or not Kim was to defecate into a plastic bag.

After the screening, The So So Glos took the stage, shouting “Let’s hear it for Todd P!” Outside, Ty Kube from Team Robespierre was just arriving to play a late set, sipping from a carton of OJ as he walked. Did he like the film?

“I fell asleep,” he said, sheepishly. “I actually haven’t seen it yet.”
