Kill your Idols DVD
 

Has this been mentioned yet?... because I did a search on the forum and found nothing.

"KILL YOUR IDOLS", a documentary (from the executive producers of David Cronenberg's "History of Violence") tracing the history of NYC's art punk scene from its inception in 1972 with Suicide through the No-Wave acts of the late 1970's and the early inheritors immediately after (with bands like Sonic Youth and Swans) to the most recent generation embracing the ideals of transgressive innovation (including bands like Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Liars, Gogol Bordello, Black Dice, etc.) After being screened to critical and audience acclaim at over 20 international film festivals--including the Tribeca Film Festival, where it was awarded the prize for Best Feature Documentary by members of the NY Film Critics Circle--the film was released in select theatres throughout Europe in 2005. "KILL YOUR IDOLS" opens theatrically in the U.S. on July 7th, 2006 and will be available on DVD August 29th.

Is it David Scott Stone your reffering to?

That's some cooooool shit, maaaaaannnn!!!!!

I'm waiting for my DVD to arrive from NY. I am impatient.

Pretty recently, I think.

This reminds me to send those movies to netflix, let me reitirate again that this is a good movie, buy it, rent it, steal it whatever just see it.

What the hell are the YEAH YEAH YEAHs doing in a movie about influential artsy music?

i really wanna see this.

I totally agree... I've been reluctant to say that I found the whole thing a massive disappointment 'cause I don't like pissing on peoples enthusiasm... I actually posted a lengthy criticism of the movie a while back so I won't go into it again now... it's definitely worth seeing... so rent it... just don't expect anything massively coherent or insightful from the director.

There is definitely room for a well researched, insightful and creative documentary about the No Wave movement and I wish to fuck that I could do it!!!!!!

im ordering mine now................SONIC YOUTH, SUICIDE, LYDIA LUNCH................I can't wait!

Sssswwwwwwaaaaaannnnnnnnnsssssssssss

it's fucking great. let me tell you...
