Our Band Could Be Your Film

Every Wednesday in September at 7:00pm
Curated by Jason Heller, City Editor, The Onion A.V. Club

"The ’80s was a decade of musical revolution. Unlike the ’60s, though, most if it took place under the mainstream radar. Our Band Could Be Your Film is a four-part documentary series that explores some of the most radical and influential voices of the’80s rock underground—from punk to new wave to the utterly indescribable."
