1991 The Year Punk Broke DVD
 

http://www.wegotpowerfilms.com/

We are very happy to announce that the long awaited DVD will be released in the fall of 2011 to celebrate the 20 year anniversary of this historic tour, featuring

• 42 minute Bonus Movie entitled "(This Is Known As) The Blues Scale" with previously unseen mind-blowing Sonic & Nirvana performances (including "Inhuman", "White Kross", "Orange Rolls/Angel's Spit", "Eric's Trip", "Chapel Hill", and "In Bloom") and plenty of revelatory and rockin' (and hilarious) never before seen off-stage and on-stage material

• Running audio commentary track by Thurston Moore & Dave Markey

• Rough Edits of performance material

• 2003 Panel Discussion (on the film) at the Arclight in Hollywood, with Thurston Moore, Dave Markey, Lee Ranaldo, Steve Shelley, and J. Mascis

• A photo slide show

• Theatrical trailer

• More surprises!

"1991 is a celebration. Its joiie de vivre is infectious. Even the hints of tragedy- a glipse of the late roadie Joe Cole, a too-high Cobain- merely make the claim in the film's title more crucial."
- Village Voice

"Director Dave Markey strives for a kind of cinema verite-meets-homemade-fanzine appeal and succeeds almost too well." - Entertainment Weekly
