1991: The Year Punk Broke || Documentary
1991: The Year Punk Broke , released theatrically in 1992, is a
documentary directed by Dave Markey featuring American alternative rock
band Sonic Youth on tour in Europe in 1991.
While Sonic Youth is the
focus of the documentary, the film also gives attention to Nirvana,
Dinosaur Jr., Babes in Toyland, Gumball and The Ramones.
Also featured
in the film are Mark Arm, Dan Peters and Matt Lukin of Mudhoney and
roadie Joe Cole, who was murdered in a robbery three months after the
tour ended. The film is dedicated to him.
Several scenes in the film involve re-enactments and references to
scenes from the contemporaneous Madonna tour documentary, Truth or Dare,
such as Gordon complaining about "industry people" in the front row, or
Cobain, introduced as "Costner" telling Sonic Youth that their show was
"neat".
At a screening of the film at the 2008 All Tomorrow's Parties
festival in Monticello, New York, Markey mentioned that the working
title for the film was Tooth or Hair, as a further play on this
connection. A home video VHS was released by the David Geffen Company on
April 13, 1993.
The film was again re-released on DVD on September 13,
2011 by the Universal Music Group.
Sitback and enjoy.
