Directed by Wes Orshoski
Twitter Facebook Google+Overview
From Lemmy filmmaker Wes Orshoski comes the story of the long-ignored pioneers of punk: The Damned, the first U.K. punks on wax and the first to cross the Atlantic. This authorized film includes appearances from Chrissie Hynde, Mick Jones (The Clash), Lemmy and members of Pink Floyd, Black Flag, GNR, the Sex Pistols, Blondie, Buzzcocks, and more. Shot around the globe over three years, the film charts the band’s complex history and infighting, as it celebrated its 35th anniversary and found its estranged former members striking out on their own anniversary tour, while still others battle cancer.

Viewing Notes
Good retrospective on the birth of punk. The Damned are a band we have seen a lot of times. And a good show they put on. Cool to hear Dave Gahan talk about how he was influenced by Dave Vanian.
