New Videos Up @ KINODV: Punk Fashion Show, Spit Club, Boston, 1982
This month I’m posting something a little different @ KINODV. A Punk Fashion Show shot in Boston in 1982 at the SPIT Club on Lansdown Street.
The imagery is set to the New Order tune “Confusion” from the Blade Soundtrack. This is definitely worth a look:
Part of that whole scene was the 2 Tone Ska music revival. You hit the clubs and you were guaranteed to hear “Twist and Crawl” or “Mirror in the Bathroom” With that in mind I have also posted The Beat, or if you care, The English Beat with a live version of “Mirror in the Bathroom” from the movie “Dance Craze” 1981:

Mission of Burma with a live performance of “Eyes of Men” filmed in Boston at the Space and Underground 1979-80. This is about as early as your going to see on Mission of Burma. I recently edited this footage and am posting it for the first time:
Mission of Burma and Gang of Four played together several times between 1979-82. I remember one animated and high energy output @ the Paradise Club May 1980. Just had to add the Gang of Four’s live performance of “He Would Send in the Army” recorded in London in 1981 and taken from the movie Urgh! A Music War:

New live vids up @ KINODV: Violent Femmes _ Robin Lane & The Chartbusters
From Folk roots to the Next….. just Add It Up When Things Go Wrong
Robin Lane with early roots in the Los Angles folk music scene moved east and eventually to Cambridge in 1978. There the Chartbusters were formed with Asa Brebner, Leroy Radcliffe, Scott Raerenwad, and Tim Jackson. In the midst of the punk and new wave scene, the music with Robin Lane & The Chartbusters took on a new edge.
Watch Robin Lane and the Chartbusters live video from 1979 “When Things Go Wrong” here:
The Violent Femmes in the early 80’s played the coffee house and street corner scene. Their music was a cross between American folk music and punk rock. Band members Brian Ritchie, Victor DeLorez, and lead vocalist
Gordon Gano helped define the idea of folk punk.
