Louder Faster Shorter

San Francisco, March 21, 1978. In the intense, original punk rock scene at the Mabuhay Gardens (the only club in town which would allow it), the Avengers, Dils, Mutants, Sleepers, and UXA played a benefit for striking Kentucky coal miners ('Punks Against Oppression!'), raising $3,300. The check was actually mailed and received. One of the only surviving 16 mm color documents of this short-lived era. The filmmaker was Mindaugis Bagdon, a member of Search & Destroy, the publication which chronicled and catalyzed the punk rock 'youth culture' rebellion of the late '70s.
