Recall seeing them crossing 3rd ave, around Astor. there was a group of about a dozen or so who were literally chained together - "The Chain Gang". There was a buncha JMC fans who came across the pond, documenting this show.
Thanksgiving week of '86 we were all heading to the ol' Ritz to catch first appearance of Jesus & Mary Chain - while Charged GBH was playing at Rock Hotel. those nights were pretty insane - fans of bands like the Exploited or Charged GBH were a very rough crowd, and there'd be tons of fists flying usually 'til the wee hours, if not daylight. Rock Hotel (Jane st.) would book the "bigger" (national/international) hardcore acts/shows back then. the building they bought off the city for $1, with the proviso that they renovated it. Still haven't been inside, but interviewed with the local architect years ago who is renovating the building for them.
I lived in this hood for close to 5 years before I realized it was around the corner from us. I had some school friends more in the scene than me that were going to ABCNoRio back then and raving about the scene vs CBGB. I got here in 86- would always scan the VV for shows, so became aware of a lot of the venues even if I wasn't going to them. and when written out seems painfully obvious too. I'm an allegory moron- often miss the plot with those, but that makes perfect sense. was later moved to ABCNoRio, on Rivington, and that's when the crowds grew to be much larger and rowdier.Īhhh.
They started doing the Sunday hardcore matinee at CBs in the early 80s, and, yeah - all of the Bowery resembled that cast in one way or another. they pull over to make a pay phone call (nostalgic, eh?) and the toddler is mauled to bits by the pack of stray dogs, who are allegorical to TR (The Rejected, name of the main group of kids who squat in the abandoned development). To the bolded, yes - punkette Sheila is hitching, gets picked up by a woman in a station wagon, with a toddler in the back seat. but it was fun for me to see types of people/places/music/attitudes that brought back to those days). (eta: "lots of fun" isn't quite the best way to describe this one.
#BORSTAL BREAKOUT SHAM 69 MOVIE#
didn't the movie start with some violent scene that has nothing to do with the rst of the movie? could be misrembering. loved seeing a young pre-RHCP actor Flea, as well as those live performances. lots of fun and brought me right back to CA in the early 80s (granted, my immediate bourgeois CA was a different world/universe than this even if I had friends who were more in the scene). I just saw Surburbia in the last year for the first time. struggling to remember it, even though I know I liked it. on loop for me in the mid 80s, it's killer.ģ) The Punk Rock Movie - pure 8m raw concert footage of the '77/'78 scene - beautiful in it's minimalism - i've linked this performanceby Subway Sect into many threads here over the years as being the quintessential live performance of the D.I.Y. great concert footage of D.I., TSOL, the Vandals. these were not kids looking to change the world, just looking to survive 'til tomorrow.
#BORSTAL BREAKOUT SHAM 69 PC#
easily the best here, and really not even close - i spoke of it in this thread back in March, and i have nothing to add to that love letter.Ģ) Suburbia - Spheeris debut, best snapshot of early 80s hardcore culture - nihilistic kids, nothing PC about it/them (before the extreme bat# left hijacked everything).
