Peru’s own Los Saicos, Sex PistolsThe RamonesNew York DollsThe Stooges, The Dictators, or even Death, was the first punk band in the history of punk bands.
Rockumentary and family love story, A BAND CALLED DEATH chronicles what happened almost three decades later, when a dusty 1974 demo tape made its way out of the attic.
Death is a Detroit rock band formed in Detroit, Michigan in 1971 by brothers Bobby, David, and Dannis Hackney. The trio started out as a funk band but switched to rock after seeing a concert by The Who. Wikipedia

11:20p One Man’s Madness by Director Jeff Baynes

A fresh, disorienting, quirky, slapstick romp through the history of Madness, accompanied by their irrepressible, flying saxophonist, Lee Thompson. And it is probably mostly true.

Venice is the most visited city outside of Disneyland in America.  Indeed the venue Beyond Baroque is celebrating their 50th year, and they have been the our local Venice mainstay; Beyond Baroque which has been a space for cultivating innovative artists for over 50 yrs in Los Angeles –  literature, writers, poets, thinkers, a vital center for community and art.
 
Beatnick, and then punk in Los Angeles, grew from this epi-center and we are proud to be  showing films about punk here in Los Angeles for the third year.
