Badsville - Badsville (+ CD) - DVD

Los Angeles at the dawn of a new millennium: an over-populated urban sprawl of unending strip malls held together by clogged highways of road-raged drivers and capped off with dirty brown, smog-filled skies. Deal with the boss, deal with the man, the cops, the landlord, and the endless succession of jerk-offs as best you can. One surefire release for the pent-up beast is the musiv. Man, the music!
here in the city of fallen angerls is a network of nightclubs and crazed rock bands waving the flag of independence with a fierce determination. Their fans flock to these underground dens to take part in a ritual of letting go and having fun, as the bands hold a battered guitar in one fist and raise the other in a one-fingered salute.
The performances and interviews captured within - by likes of The Hangmen, The Superbees, The Streetwalkin' Cheetahs, the irrepressible Texas Terri, and many others will take you to a Tinseltown few are privy to. We just call it Badsville. - S.L. Duff
