We’re living in the era of the music documentary. From the big screen to streaming to social media, films about our favourite artists are everywhere. But where to start? Well, Myf and Zan have done God’s work and watched a bunch of them.Inspired by the great lineup of music docos on the Melbourne International Film Festival program, this week Myf and Zan are talking about some of their faves.There’s new films about electro punk pioneer Peaches and cult Irish hip-hop act Kneecap; films that chart the rise and fall of icons like ABBA and Whitney Houston; and there’s those goosebump-inducing moments on film that capture transcendent performers at their peak.Melbourne International Film Festival: <a href="https://miff.com.au/">https://miff.com.au/</a>Double J’s 19 music documentaries you can (legally) stream for free right now: <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-04-23/stream-music-documentaries-free/12178630">https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-04-23/stream-music-documentaries-free/12178630</a>ABBA: Against the Odds: <a href="https://iview.abc.net.au/show/abba-against-the-odds">https://iview.abc.net.au/show/abba-against-the-odds</a>Freddie Mercury: The Great Pretender: <a href="https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/tv-program/freddie-mercury-the-great-pretender/1350182979700">https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/tv-program/freddie-mercury-the-great-pretender/1350182979700</a>Whitney: <a href="https://iview.abc.net.au/show/whitney">https://iview.abc.net.au/show/whitney</a>20 Feet From Stardom: <a href="https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/movie/20-feet-from-stardom/1985674819552">https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/movie/20-feet-from-stardom/1985674819552</a>Blasko: <a href="https://iview.abc.net.au/show/blasko/video/AC1541H001S00">https://iview.abc.net.au/show/blasko/video/AC1541H001S00</a>The Greatest Night In Pop: <a href="https://www.netflix.com/au/title/81720500?src=tudum">https://www.netflix.com/au/title/81720500?src=tudum</a>Wham: <a href="https://www.netflix.com/au/title/81137188?src=tudum">https://www.netflix.com/au/title/81137188?src=tudum</a>ABC Logie Awards Nominees 2024: <a href="https://iview.abc.net.au/collection/1374">https://iview.abc.net.au/collection/1374</a>Bang Back to us: <a href="mailto:bangon.podcast@abc.net.au">bangon.podcast@abc.net.au</a>Bang On Live: <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/abcevents">https://www.abc.net.au/abcevents</a>Bang On is an ABC podcast, produced by Double J.
