In the early 70's three brothers from Detroit formed a band.
They were punk before punk.
They were called Death.
And they were black.
Their music went undiscovered for over 30 years.
I watched the documentary titled A Band Called Death last night and it was pretty great.

Re: A Band Called Death
Watching those reminded me of Rodriguez who was another Detroit artist that went unrecognized. I watched his documentary and he was actually a superstar in what was I think South Africa but he had no clue. He has since went on to semi-fame and even did a concert there. Pretty fucking cool if you ask me.

Re: A Band Called Death
I read the Rodriguez doc was faked. He'd been moderately famous and performing professionally the whole time. But the filmmakers made it look like he was facedown in a gutter.

Re: A Band Called Death
Not having Netflix actually sounds like a pretty good excuse to me.
