Description
[Machine Translation] Roaring chainsaws! Blow up the mountain! We're in the desert! Full moon! This is the prototype for Coachella, Lollapalooza, Burning Man and other huge festivals! -The Desolation Center was a live event held from 1983 to 1985 in the deserts of California, USA. This is the prototype of Coachella Festival, Lollapalooza, Burning Man, etc., which attract many people as huge events today. It originated in Southern California, where the storm of American punk/hardcore was raging. The Desolation Center" will provide a rare glimpse into the background of the birth of this unusual and little-known event, along with rare footage of the people involved, including Coachella founder Gary Tovar, Lollapalooza organizer Perry Farrell (Jane's Addiction), and Burning Man co-founder John Law, as well as a look at the history of the event itself. This documentary film depicts the experimental spirit and rebellious spirit of the early 80's in Los Angeles. Los Angeles in the early 80's was a time of experimentation and rebellion. The live scene was small, everyone knew each other, and eccentric and creative artists were performing nightly, but hardcore acts such as BLACK FLAG and MINUTEMEN were heavily policed by the police, and LAPD Chief Daryl Gates relentlessly sent riot police to eliminate punk and hardcore acts ( (Thus, Daryl Gates was called "a really rotten guy" by many young people. In the midst of such severe crackdowns, it was becoming increasingly difficult to secure venues for live shows, and the Desolation Center was organized by Stewart Sweezy, the organizer, to allow people to see their favorite shows without anyone interfering. ( performers are chosen based on their ability, not on audience turnout ) ( not for profit ) ( no invited guests ) ( paid for only band members and volunteers ) ( no reliance on media coverage ) ( no advertising ) ( no boisterous people ) ( no selling alcohol to the crowd at exorbitant prices ) ( no dancing required, not a New Wave discotheque ) ) (No dancing, no new wave disco). The performers were SAVAGE REPUBLIC, MINUTEMEN, SONIC YOUTH, REDD KROSS, EINSTURZENDE NEUBAUTEN, SWANS, MEAT PUPPETS, SURVIVAL RESEARCH LABORATORIES, and many others, who played punk, rock, noise, and art. This is a spectacular mix of punk, rock, noise, and art. This film recounts such an extraordinary live event with interviews with many of the people involved and rare live footage left behind. In particular, the noise-filled live performances of Sonic Youth and Einsturzende Neubauten, and the anomalous behavior of Survival Research Laboratories, which could be described as either art or environmental destruction, are a picture of hell. Directed by Stewart Sweezy, the event's founder, and featuring a cast of over 60 people who were there at the time. In this film, people will be astonished at the fact that this event, which has never been introduced in Japan, took place, and they will feel how this small but strange and bizarre show has influenced the contemporary music scene.
