The Undertones: Here Comes The Summer BBC4 Documentary (2012)
While this doc's view of seventies Irish pop-punk masters The Undertones are both more grandiose ("They became one of Britain's most iconic bands") and more conventional ("the musical landscape was changing") than the 2002 doc made by John Peel, it still adds a tonne of fascinating information and lots of new interviews to the the story. Flaws acknowledged, I still loved every minute of it..
Let us know what you think about this new(er) Undertones doc in the COMMENTS!
Love these guys! They played twice when I worked at The Showbox the theater in Seattle when it was cool and raw. Nice guys fun shows and after parties... Thanks for this and The Man In Black doc.
Thanks for the video Great Doc about one of my faves punk-rock bands, it's good to see normal guys not looking to be stars... punk has changed for sure...
