Boys From Nowhere: The Story of Boston's Garage Punk Uprising (trailer)

"Boys From Nowhere" http://www.boysfromnowhere.org is a documentary currently in production that centers on a handful of Boston area bands who came together in the mid-to-late 1970s and went against the grain of weak, irritating Top 40 radio with raw, catchy rock'n'roll. Feature coming in 2012!

Awesome project. A lot of great bands (and memories) for sure. But the film producers should note that there were girls from nowhere too -- and they were not groupies! Carmen Monoxide played bass with the Girls, Baby's Arm and the Marc Thor Band back in the day. And what about Barb Kitson of Thrills (now sadly deceased)? It's true that the scene was heavy on testosterone -- all the more reason to turn the spotlight on what women on the scene were doing, if only to mention the zines.

@ferrgus19 Thanks for your support...So far, we've interviewed Miss Lyn of the Boston Groupie News, Joanie Lindstrom of the Late Risers Club and we will interview more women. I don't think you should take the title so literally. It's not meant as an affront to women in music. It's actually just named after a DMZ song.

This is incredibly awesome.. I see Mrs. Lyn, I see Blowfish, I see Carl, I see Brett, I see Frank.... Thank you for doing this...

@KTVBOSTON  Thanks for saying that! They were all really fun to interview. And we just want to show how cool these bands are and hopefully make an enjoyable movie.

What is the release date?

[boysfromnowhere]

@spofcher1 Hard to say as we're still in production--but probably Spring/Summer, 2012.
