Screamers Live in San Francisco September 2nd, 1978

For years an anomalous object coveted by music geeks everywhere, this video of legendary art-punk icons The Screamers is now available for widespread distribution. Headed by frontman Tomata Du Plenty, who delivers theatrical, tantrum-esque performances over a combination of synthesizers, drums and base, this legendary group is lauded as a pioneer of New Wave music and one of the most innovative bands in the history of L.A. punk. Now, to combat the band's mournful lack of recorded material comes this live performance in a tiny club before an appreciative crowd in 1978 San Francisco, taped by Joe Rees of Target Video. The set list includes "Vertigo," "Beat Goes On," "122 Hours of Fear," "Another World," plus three ultra-rare videos that have never been released before.
