At first glance, this video came off as serious but then quickly became very satirical. 

The video, “BACKER,” takes the form of a “mockumentary.” In the video, Mac DeMarco plays the role of Dave Fuck, an everyman car-backer. Dave backs up cars as a profession and gives the audience a little insight of day-to-day car backing. He also goes in-depth about car backing struggles while venturing into dreams. 

If you are even considering attending a Mac Demarco concert, let me save you some time and decide for you. YOU. ARE. GOING. Not only is his music god-sent, but his show is fucking good. Mac is one of the strangest people I have ever seen in the absolute best way possible. He made me laugh and smile about 80% of the show. The other 20% I was either moshing or contemplating my future with him (jk).

I saw him two nights in a row at the Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles, and both nights were unbelievable. The first night, during his crowd surf, I touched his butt *angels singing*. The second night, when he crowd surfed to the back, climbed up to the balcony, then back-flopped into the crowd, I was right below him- yes, I caught Mac.

He just makes really good connections with his audience, talking to us, making physical contact with us, jamming with us...

The other band members killed it too! I was front row and made gnarly eye-contact with the drummer, Joe. Also, I smiled and tossed up a peace sign to the bassist, Pierce, and he smiled back and gave me a head nod. AND I met the guitarist Andy after the first show.

Basically, these were two of the best nights in my life.
