Death (Detroit proto punk) / Upchuck / Lice

Co-presented with Stompbox and ahead of their first Toronto show in 12 years - the much beloved documentary "A Band Called Death" will be screening at Revue Cinema on September 18th at 9:30PM.

Before Bad Brains, the Sex Pistols or even the Ramones, there was Death. Formed in the early ’70s by three teenage brothers from Detroit, Death is credited as being the first black punk band, and the Hackney brothers, David, Bobby, and Dannis, are now considered pioneers in their field. But it wasn’t until the 2000s — when a dusty 1974 demo tape made its way out of Bobby’s attic nearly 30 years after Death’s heyday — that anyone outside a small group of punk enthusiasts had even heard of them. The rediscovered tracks were released as…For the Whole World To See in 2009, and music fans worldwide had their minds blown. Equal parts electrifying rockumentary and epic family chronicle, the story of Death is one of brotherly love and fierce, divinely inspired expression.
