Practice space run through shot live and unedited by the Flipside crew. You may already know “Richard Hung Himself.” (Slayer rocked it on Undisputed Attitude.)
On Halloween night, 1986, Midwest’s hammering punk legends Dead Boys showed up to collect their beer money. In the ’80s, we called this “good bootleg quality.”
A really good movie about some specific fallout from the P-word. Well shot, nicely edited, thoughtfully put together, a buncha nice interview stuff appended.
Pure hard rock riff action without Soundgarden/Alice In Chains’ metal, Mudhoney’s salt blast garage howl, or Pearl Jam’n’Nirvana’s classic rock balladry.
Four Japanese girls in a band are set to perform at their high school’s festival when one of the girls is injured and can no longer play. Controversy ensues.
The Godfathers of the German industrial movement perform in a palace that serves as the seat of parliament. Demolition is underway; the hall is empty and cold.
Andi Deris’ voice sounds superb, the musicianship is spot on, and the audience sings along with fervor. Not much more that you could want out of a live album.
A bootleg with bad sound and shaky footage. Once past that, it’s pretty enjoyable. Contemporaries of Joy Division, Sigue Sique Sputnik, and Sisters of Mercy.
An anomaly. We knew of their urgent style of punk, but the locals knew the mythology. When Riot Fest facilitated a reunion, Raygun added to the legend.
The Jesus Lizard was rhythmic, sweaty, loud, and sexual. Singer David Yow gyrates, howls, and flails, molesting the audience at every available opportunity.
