Omar and Cedric

Streaming video - 2023

Since their explosive breakout album in 2000, At the Drive-In — and then as their next incarnation, The Mars Volta — have fearlessly redefined the progressive rock genre. Fronted by Omar Rodríguez-López and Cedric Bixler-Zavala, two outsiders from El Paso, their unique style seamlessly fused jazz, punk rock, latin influences and experimental sounds into something utterly electrifying. But their immense artistic success gave way to deep personal fissures that ended their musical partnership in 2013, and inflicted wounds that would take more than a decade to heal.Culled from hundreds of hours of footage filmed by Omar over the past 40 years, OMAR AND CEDRIC: IF THIS EVER GETS WEIRD charts the duo’s intense and profound journey as they... navigate success, addiction, tragedy, betrayal, forgiveness and, ultimately, redemption.
