Doc Memories: 1991 The Year Punk Broke

You can view the whole thing in pieces in low res on YouTube. Or if you live in NYC, go to the Walter Reade theater on Monday May 4 at 8:15 pm and catch one of the best films about grunge 1991: The Year Punk Broke. Director David Markey was there at the beginning of the movement and has some super rare footage of bands like Nirvana, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr., etc. doing their thing in Europe. Markey also kept an excellent tour diary, where regales behind the scene stories, such as the one where he himself was yelling out songs from offstage for Nirvana to play because they were too ’sroomed out to stick to their set list.
