DC101 is, for all intents and purposes, brain poison, but I just found myself in an unavoidable situation where it was rocking and in between 311 and Shinedown some guy made mention of something I had been meaning to post about.
If you aren't going to Tokyo Police Club at Warehouse Next Door, then head over to the Black Cat and check out the film screening of Bad Brains - Live at CBGB's 1982. I have been hearing and reading a lot about Bad Brains lately: the Vegan had a post that pointed me to a very informative Wikipedia bio and we talked about the movie American Hardcore earlier this summer. Here is the write-up from Black Cat:
Bad Brains - Live at CBGB 1982
This performance displays why Bad Brains became one of the most important bands in the history of American Hardcore. On Christmas Eve 1982, Bad Brains began a three-day stint at a Hardcore Festival hosted by the legendary CBGB. This film represents the very best of these shows, culled from over 4 hours of footage. The band's live performances were legendary, their visual recordings almost impossible to find. Now, one of those performances is revisited in extraordinary fashion.
