The film will feature interviews with all three members of the band \u2014 Billy Gibbons, Frank Beard and Dusty Hill \u2014 as well as never-before-seen archival footage, animation and a special performance at the oldest dance hall in Texas, Gruene Hall in New Braunfels, that was shot specifically for the film.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The trailer for <em>That Little Ol\u2019 Band From Texas<\/em> also teases interviews with famous ZZ Top fans including Josh Homme and Billy Bob Thornton, the latter of whom offers this description of the band\u2019s absurd aura: \u201cThey\u2019re unique, they\u2019re eccentric.
