Before Mark Duplass dove headfirst into filmmaking & acting full-time, he fronted Volcano, I'm Still Excited!!, a little band from Austin, TX who wrote some of the catchiest / most interesting songs we had ever heard, like this one...
After releasing their self-titled debut album with us in 2004, Mark and his brother Jay wrote and directed The Puffy Chair, their first feature-length film. The Puffy Chair ended up making it into the Sundance Film Festival, which lead to tons of well-deserved recognition for the Duplass brothers.
Since then, Mark and Jay have gone on to act, direct, and produce some of the best movies & tv shows in the industry. Noisey recently caught up with Mark to talk about his time in Volcano, I'm Still Excited!! and how his experiences in the music industry shaped his various creative processes.
