On the first episode of "
The Art of
Punk" we dissect the art of the legendary
Black Flag. From the iconic four bars symbols, to the many coveted and collected gig flyers,
singles, and band t-shirts, all depicting the distinctive
Indian ink drawn image and text by artist
Raymond Pettibon. We start off in
Los Angeles talking to two founding members singer
Keith Morris, and bass player
Chuck Dukowski, about what the scene was like in
1976 - setting the stage for the band's formation, as well as the bands name, and
the creation of the iconic four bars
symbol. Raymond Pettibon talks with us from his
New York art studio.
Back in LA we meet with
Flea, from the
Red Hot Chili Peppers, about how the art, the music, and that early LA scene impacted his own life and career. To wrap it all up we sit and talk at length, with
Henry Rollins, at
MOCA Grand Ave in Los Angeles, about all of the above and more.
Created, directed, and
Executive Produced by writer/author of '
Fucked Up + Photocopied',
Bryan Ray Turcotte (
Kill Your Idols), and Bo
Bushnell (
The Western Empire), The Art Of Punk traces the roots of the punk movement and the artists behind the iconic logos of punk bands such as: Black Flag (Raymond Pettibon),
The Dead Kennedys (
Winston Smith), and
Crass (
Dave King).
In addition to profiling the artists, the series includes intimate interviews with former band members, notable artists, and celebrities who have been heavily influenced by the art of punk rock including
Jello Biafra,
Tim Biskup,
Scott Campbell, Chuck Dukowski, Flea,
Steve Olson,
Penny Rimbaud, Henry Rollins,
Owen Thornton, and
Gee Vaucher.
The filmmakers Bryan Ray Turcotte and Bo Bushnell take a unique approach to exploring the rich histories of these three seminal punk legends by focusing on the influential imagery and seeking out stories that have not been told yet through the artwork, which is integral to the importance and influence of each band.
On June 11,
2013 The Art Of Punk debuts on MOCAtv with an episode on Raymond Pettibon and the artwork of Black Flag. The stories behind the art of the
Dead Kennedys will debut on June 18, and June 25 will see the release of the Crass episode, all of which will be available at: www.youtube.com/MOCAtv
