Has this been mentioned yet?... because I did a search on the forum and found nothing.
"KILL YOUR IDOLS", a documentary (from the executive producers of David Cronenberg's "History of Violence") tracing the history of NYC's art punk scene from its inception in 1972 with Suicide through the No-Wave acts of the late 1970's and the early inheritors immediately after (with bands like
Sonic Youth and
Swans) to the most recent generation embracing the ideals of transgressive innovation (including bands like
Yeah Yeah Yeahs,
Liars,
Gogol Bordello,
Black Dice, etc.) After being screened to critical and audience acclaim at over 20 international film festivals--including the Tribeca Film Festival, where it was awarded the prize for Best Feature Documentary by members of the NY Film Critics Circle--the film was released in select theatres throughout Europe in 2005.
"KILL YOUR IDOLS" opens theatrically in the U.S. on July 7th, 2006 and will be available on DVD August 29th.
