A Band Called Death

This month, Cinefamily presents A Band Called Death, a documentary of the epic journey of America’s first black punk band. Three decades after the head-banging brothers admitted defeat (there being no tolerance of punky “white boy music” from black boys during an era ruled by the Supremes and the Temptations), Death got a second and unexpected chance to win over a new generation—us. See how it all happened, and—if you’re lucky—possibly the band themselves performing live at the theatre.
