Where were you in '82?

If you were a punk (before we were a punk) then you might have been at this 1982 punk rock fashion show -- held at Axis, then known as Spit -- which was captured on camera by the folks at KinoDV. Yes, we know the song is not contemporary to the video: but trust us, this is the real deal.

Chances are you were not at any of these shows, but a couple of our tape-collecting peoples might recognize the bills. Rap-flyer freaks, feast on a trove of Bambattaa et al, from '79-'83 . . .
