oh that's great, never heard of them....i watched the longhorn documentary on amazon prime - was really cool! i'd always heard of those days but not as much detail on the whole story. also just nice to see things about mpls punk that don't revolve entirely around replacements and husker du (don't know if you saw the MN hardcore doc series on public TV but that was great as well)
Yes, the Longhorn doc is incredible. I went to the premiere, and the reunion concert that accompanied it. I did see the hardcore doc, that was cool as well (although I wasn't nearly as much a part of that scene.)
really enjoyed the longhorn, so many great photos
it was definitely a different focus but it was cool to a narrative that (maybe if you're lucky) mentions the Commandos and Suburbs in passing then goes on to Mats vs Huskers and then punk rock ceased to exist
History is written by (and about) the winners, so the focus is on the bands that made it big, but early on it was so cool that we had bands playing power pop, retro-60s Nuggets garage rock, rockabilly, surf, and assorted weirdness... anything went, as long as it wasn't trying to sound mainstream.
yeah that reminded me a bit of the stuff i've read about the pre-hardcore/black flag L.A. punk scene too
if i wanted to challops i'd say suicide commandos "make a record" is the best minneapolis rock record over HD and mats haha, not sure i believe that but it's a good opinion
It totally is as far as I'm concerned! It's as important (or more) to me as the first Ramones, I think there's more stylistic variation in the songwriting and cleverness in the lyrics. Sorry Ma is up there for me, I saw I think the Mats' second show they ever did because of the early Oarfolk buzz about them, and was floored. That's an album full of incredible hooks.
