The Punk Years part 1



The Punk Years #1
part 1/3
"A look at the nihilist rock n' roll forefathers of punk - Warhol & The Velvets, Iggy & The Stooges, MC5, Glam rock - Roxy, Bolan and Bowie - and the British Pub rockers and discover why they had such an impact on the young punks-to-be."









The Punk Years #1 part 2/3

"New York's punk scene developed from its roots in Warhol's Factory and The Velvet Underground through to the New York Dolls and venues like Max's Kansas City. We explore how the now legendary CBGB's evolved into a seminal punk club, playing host to the likes of Patti Smith, Blondie, Television, Talking Heads and The Ramones and how the New York scene informed the nascent London punks."

No Wave Post-Punk Underground



No Wave: Post-Punk. Underground. New York. 1976-1980

No Wave is the first book to visually chronicle the collision of art and punk in the New York underground of 1976 to 1980. This in depth look at punk rock, new wave, experimental music, and the avant-garde art movement of the 70s and 80s focuses on the true architects of No Wave from James Chance to Lydia Lunch to Glenn Branca, as well as the luminaries that intersected the scene, such as David Byrne, Debbie Harry, Brian Eno, Iggy Pop, and Richard Hell.

In this Video, Thurston Moore and Byron Coley spend 12 minutes taking us back to that very special time in New York.

The film includes appearances by counter-cultural icons Allen Ginsburg and William S. Burroughs and musical performances by The Fugs, Ravi Shankar and Ornette Coleman. At the end of this scene featuring The Fugs, that is Conrad Brooks rolling around amidst the crushed sugar cubes.

Joy Division docu trailer



In 1976 four young men from ruined, post-industrial Manchester, England went to see the Sex Pistols. They formed a band, Joy Division. Three years later it was a matter of art, life and death. Now thirty years later, they are enjoying a larger audience and more influence than ever before with a profound legacy that resonates fiercely in today's heavily careerist music industry and over-mediated pop culture.
