Hot Water Movie

leave a comment »


In Leatherface’s anthem ‘Do the right thing’ Frankie Stubbs blurts out: “Don’t underestimate the underdogs / they can beat the world and come back for more / they can dance and romance / and drink the night into coma.” That much for the abridged version.
Operating at levels of intoxication only seen by few, the Floridian band conquered every single punk dive this world has to offer and yes, theyusually came back for more. It was not like ‘another city left wrecked behind’, Instead, their audiences were deeply moved by the sincerity and compassion that was offered. Hot Water Music glued us all together again, creating friendships, hangovers, and the feeling that it all still made sense. Honesty that no fucking MTV clown could ever offer. In a sometimes painfully and self-revealing manner the UN:ART:IG crew documented – under rigid conditions or until the camera broke – what comes down as the most creative years of the only punk band of their era touring the Black Flag way: 200+ p.a. and no overdubs.
