Trailer for $5 Cover: Seattle, Or The Trials and Tribulation of 13 Bands

Thee Emergency's Dita Vox at REVERB 2009.

Based on the trailer alone, the new season of MTV's "$5 Cover" has as much love, loss, and drama as an episode of The Hills. (And like The Hills, the show is a documentary combined with acted, narrative storylines inspired by the muscians' own lives.) The Lynn Shelton-directed web series appears to prominently features the Maldives' Jason Dodson and Thee Emergency's Dita Vox.

Check it out the video on Vimeo. (Yeah, the video's been finicky for us, too.)
