EP 133: THE SIGHTS AND SOUNDS OF TEXAS PUNK w/ Pat Blashill

Описание: This week I’m joined by author/photographer Pat Blashill (Texas Is The Reason; Someday All The Parents Will Die) to talk about the Texas punk community he documented, including Scratch Acid, Butthole Surfers & Big Boys, as well as the 2014 documentary The Dicks From Texas.

We also discuss punks living in Texas and how the bands from there pushed back hard against it, was Cheap Trick punk rock, which music freaked us out when we were younger, DEVO making your friends cry in fear, Pat getting invited to his first punk show by Big Boys in 1979 when he started taking photos of the scene that night, Pat’s artistic influences, The Huns riot, early bands like Sharon Tate’s Baby, the band Terminal Mind getting mad at people for dancing to their music, singing with a British accent, Raul's being the centerpiece club of the punk scene, Buxf of The Dicks, Sister Double Happiness, Gary Floyd’s singular vocals in punk, The Torn Panties, how Gary upstaged Lou Reed, Poison 13, Pat befriending David Yow and David Sims before they started Scratch Acid, Jesus Lizard, watching the evolution of Butthole Surfers and their work ethic, Pat being at the Rembrant Pussyhorse recordings, The Residents’ Hardy Fox, Kurt Cobain, Big Boys playing the Austin Chronicle Award Show and the fight that ensued, Flipside VHS Tapes, the lack of local press support for punk rock, IRS's The Cutting Edge coming to Austin, Daniel Johnson and more.

So let's get lost in the pit together on this episode of Revolutions Per Movie!
