Angelface - A Wild Odyssey

A very mysterious Stooges sound-alike band from late 70s/early 80s France...The opening track is about a minute and a half of scary wolf howls, and then breaks into the most raw, primal sounding rock & roll you've ever heard, since the Stooges that is, of course. This could actually BE Iggy Pop singing for all I know or care, and it's in French which makes it even cooler. I picked up this nifty bootleg CD from Rockit Science on St Marks, after hearing them play it in the shop. It's worth picking up, for sure. Couldn't find anything about them on the internet, until I got the bright idea to try 'Google France', which I never knew existed...Anyway, the bootleg has their album 'A Wild Odyssey', as well as some live tracks from some French punk festival. Check it out if you can get a hold of it. My guess is the original album is worth hundreds.

You'll Pay For This! / You Weren't There

Seriously, check this shit out. Both of these trailers are very good. The first one, explains the gritty start of Chicago's punk scene. There is a lot of footage Ive never seen before here. It features all the greats (Effigies, DV8, Naked Raygun, Articles of Faith, Immune System) "You Weren't There" premiered in L.A. last year, I wanted to fly out for it. Duke Eastwood from the Killed By Porn radio show was the after party DJ. I'm not sure about it premiering in NY, and I don't think it is out on DVD yet.
