There was a red 4003 visible in another Marvel movie... they all roll into one film in my head though!

It turns out that they are a real band - though those were not their own guitars.  Sounds like a fun gig.

Old 97s are a really good band but not one I would have expected in that setting. I guess I should read up and see what made the whole thing come together.

I met their lead singer when he was opening for Tori Amos as a solo act: really nice guy. His wife sat with me and my wife for the show.
