Those of you who have followed this blog for any length of time know that I am loathe to post/embed any vids from youtbe whatsoever.If i can't find what I'm looking for on an alternate video site then chances are I will just move on to another video/topic.
This vid,however, is an exception for several reasons.First, despite all my attempts to find it on the many other video hosting sites i frequent (and trust me, there are many, many of them--mostly located outside of the United States)youtube seems to be the only place i could find it.
Second: the importance of this documentary and the time period,bands,and ideas which it represents can not be under estimated.
Third: there's something of a nice little "fuck you" implied by using a billion dollar corporation to get a message of DIY and anarchy out there to the people.
This 2007 documentary, made as a companion piece to the 2004 book of the same name, features interviews and performances by many of the anarcho-punk mainstays of the time it represents including SUBHUMANS,CRASS,CHUMBAWUMBA,RUBELLA BALLET,CONFLICT,AMEBIX,TOXIC WASTE and many more.
(If anyone can find an embed code NOT from youtube, please let me know and i will gladly replace the video!)
the Legendary FALSE PROPHETS.From the source where i found this embed:
This was recorded in the Siefert's golf course barn in Grand Blanc, MI, September, 1987. This was one of the last shows of the "hall party" era(1982-1987), before shows started being held at the Capitol Theatre, a couple months later. The False Prophets were from New York and were regulars and popular favorites of the Flint underground music scene throughout the 1980s.
Fascinating German television broadcast from 1981, which I can only surmise was a tie-in with the release of that years COMPUTER WORLD album. A mix of interviews (for those that speak German),live sequences,and videos (including a clever but disturbing one for "Radioactivity").All the tracks here are in the original German, so if you're only familiar with the English versions, this will be a treat as the mixes are in many cases radically different.
DISCHARGE at the top of their game, 1983, Victoria Hall.
This is straight up punk/hc from them and not the crusty/metal of later years.
here's a link to a rather well done fansite for more info on them. Discharge - The Nightmare Continues
The great REAGAN YOUTH live at the Olympic,Los Angelos,1984. This was when they were still an actual PUNK band, and not the crappy metal band they later turned into---however they do play Black Sabbath's "War Pigs" (first track on this vid).
This is damn good stuff, right here!
It's been a while since I've posted anything on here, so i will be making up for lost time by putting up an enormous amount of new vids in the following days, starting with this one: another in the great series of 1980's hardcore vids, FLIPSIDE VIDEO FANZINE #7. This one is all viewer submissions/contributions, but is no less stellar than than previous entries.As always, there's killer punk bands captured live and doing what they do best.Enjoy!
rather interesting ,if maybe a little heavyhanded doc on some of the early and curent women is the UK punk scene, including members of RUBELLA BALLET,CRASS,X RAY SPEX and more.
from the official synopsis:
"She's a Punk Rocker U.K." is a documentary by and about punk rock women. Punk women changed the public face of females. It was very universally empowering for women. The story of punk could almost be a women's liberation story. Documentary director and punk rocker Zillah Minx reveals the true punk rock history from the women who were there. This documentary tells the story directly from the punk women who created the punk scene in UK. These are the punk women on the streets of the UK. Before the Sex Pistols appeared on TV and revealed an underground punk world, to the public. These are the women punks who shocked the world. This is their story of being punk told in an oral history format. The film features a multitude of famous women punk rockers.
interesting Duth documentary on the early SCal punk/hardcore scene----lots of great bands here,but most notably possibly the only footage (that i know of anyway) with the original line-up of SUICIDAL TENDENCIES!
