Ep 4. The Blindside

NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW season 1 episode 4, titled "The Blindside," follows the misadventures of Matt and Jay as they try to get their band, Nirvanna, booked for a show at the Rivoli, a popular indie music venue in Toronto. However, things quickly take a turn for the worse when Matt accidentally blinds Jay with a laser pointer while they are driving to the venue.

Jay, who is already nervous about the show, becomes even more stressed-out after being blinded. Meanwhile, Matt is frantically trying to drive to the Rivoli, even though he has no idea where it is. As they navigate their way through the city, they have a series of run-ins with various characters, including a group of aggressive bikers, a strange magician, and a cranky old man who hates Nirvana.

As the day wears on, Matt and Jay become increasingly desperate to find the Rivoli before their show is supposed to start. They try everything they can think of, from asking strangers for directions to using their cellphones to call the venue, but nothing seems to work.

Eventually, they stumble upon a group of punks who are rehearsing for their own show at the Rivoli. Matt and Jay try to convince them to let them play, but the punks are skeptical. However, when Matt reveals that he once played with the legendary punk band, The Viletones, the punks start to take them seriously.

With the punks' help, Matt and Jay finally make it to the Rivoli, just in time for their show. However, things continue to go wrong when they realize that they have forgotten their instruments at home. In a last-ditch effort, they decide to try to impress the crowd by performing an a cappella version of their song, "Teenage Runaway."

As they begin to sing, the crowd is skeptical, but gradually they start to get into it. By the end of the song, Matt and Jay have won over the crowd, who give them a standing ovation. Despite all the obstacles they faced, they have managed to play their dream gig at the Rivoli.

Overall, "The Blindside" is a hilarious and fast-paced episode that showcases the wacky adventures of Matt and Jay. It's a great introduction to their characters, as well as the world of Nirvanna the Band the Show. Fans of indie music and offbeat comedies will definitely want to check out this episode.
