A day of housework has just met a 1.19 hour delay. Brilliant documentary.

This just popped into my feed. Live in Sioux Falls. I’m not a big fan of punk but I found this fascinating. Recognized a few people from around town. Really cool.

Great film. I was born in 77 and grew up in the punk scene just south of here in Sioux City IA. The early 90’s was great. Kings Court & The Cattle Club were the venues. Thanks for putting this together. Takes me back.

I'm a sioux falls sound guy and seeing this pop up in my youtube feed felt like a hallucination, haha! There's still a lot of great people active in the local scene, I recognized a few in this video. I do hope the scene keeps growing, there's a ton of talented folks who deserve to be heard :)

So in the spirit of punk rock...do we share this far and wide, or is it cooler that a documentary of this caliber is relatively unknown? A real conundrum

As a kid in the 70's 80's, that was how I bought records, walked into a record store and blindly bought records based on the artwork. I still have and love those records today. I also went to shows without knowing the bands that were playing and saw descendents, circle jerks, fishbone, zero boys etc before knowing how awesome they were. Plus all the art/punk bands in Indianapolis basement shows, house parties and abandoned buildings would be temporary venues.

Also The Pomp Room and KC Halls shows, Critical Mass bike rides, Acid Bath, Janis Figure, Cursive, Threadbare, Transpire, Fall, Deadline, Phake, Lost Within, At the Drive In, Bloodlet, Youth in Revolt, Transpire, Alkaline Trio, Cadillac Blindside, Hot Water Music, Zero Zero, Mike Park, South Mouth, Thrice, Strike Anywhere, The Catholics, the Honor System, Examination of The..., MU330, Three Sisters Manitoba, Charlie Crudos, Los Bronson, Breakfast of Champions, Nodes of Renvier, Agents of Oblivion, and a lot I can't remember

So cool to stumble on this. I graduated SF Washington in '89 and remember skanking and moshing like crazy in that sweaty little venue very well even before the years covered here. Seeing that slippery ass tile floor gave me a flashback. I think the Dissent shows you could get in for a can of soup sometimes. And endlessly sifting through bins at Ernie November just down the road from Axtell Park Jr. High. What a great little scene. Thanks for documenting it. Also, at one time, the voice of the pizza puppet was Jamie Smith, who just ran for Governor of SD, was a classmate, is great singer and really nice guy. lol!

Loved going to the Nordic shows. The music scene in Sioux Falls was very interesting back in the 90's.

Ernie November was my jam too. Urban Hermit shows had crazy energy, saw a lot of great artists pass through there. Never stop making noise.

I wrote my senior thesis in college about the Sioux City punk scene which is an hour south of Sioux falls. That and Omaha all being along I-29. Three distinct scenes with tons of overlap. Look into kidd death and Fur and the blisters all from just an hour south

I am always telling my kids about the Sioux Falls music scene growing up, this was a nice trip down memory lane! Even though I was one of the little punks in the scene in the late 90’s to ‘00s. Definitely paints a way “cleaner” pic than I remember tho😂 almost wholesome, we were anything but 😅 Fantastic work I love seeing these landmarks almost forgotten to time. It’s nice to see that the scene is still kicking I’ll have to make a trip up! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I am from Yankton and I visit Sioux Falls often! This is so cool !

Learning about local scenes like this warms the soul. There is something so special about seeing history through the lens of camcorders. Thanks for your love in finding all the people & putting this together. I was in Omaha around this time, learning about the Cog Factory. All ages shows are THE BEST!

I just got to SF 2 years ago…long time punk scene enjoyer back in Houston!!! This was cool to see!

Pretty lovely work, this. Grew up in Sioux Falls, and after returning from a year in Los Angeles but before moving to Minneapolis for school, Rick Smith, Rich Show and I put No Direction together in 1980. We'd occasionally practice/whoop it up evenings at my pop's 66 station on 12th and Grange. At the time, KAUR was pretty much the only way to hear anything raucous and strange so I spun records there, often returning on weekends with a load of punk/noise/weirdo LPs cadged from pals in Mpls. to play on the air, late at night- it felt like sacred duty to get this stuff on the air in SF. Very pleased there are still folks in my hometown with talent and good ideas, and their heads screwed on properly, enough to merit such a beautifully kindhearted and well-put-together doc like this. Thank you.

I grew up in spokane, had no idea punk and underground music existed. The first punks i ever saw were on tourist postcards, but i didnt think they were really people. Like, i thought it was just a pic of some people dressed up for the postcard. I entered the punk scene at around 16 in around 86/87 because my best friend got into punk and played me lps at his place all the time. Gbh, black flag, cricle jerks, the exploited, sex pistols lps. And no matter where i've gone in life its always been the underground for me. It's my home unlike any other.

this is awesome, 17 years old and still looking to start a scene!!

From Sioux Falls love this doc

Such a wonderful, sweet and humane documentary, in all aspects. Thank you for putting this together, made me feel better :)

I grew up in Minneapolis and started going to shows in 1990, but of course eventually I was familiar with most of the Souix Falls bands with it being nearby ... And a bunch of those SF SD people moved to the Twin Cities over time, of course, and I got to know them there ... Really enjoyed this documentary. Really good stuff. PS: Wasn't there an Ernie November in Mankato, MN? That's another scene that could really use a documentary like this one. Small town, great music scene with Marty's and so forth.

I grew up at the same time as a lot of these people. I love these little documentaries. It's pretty friggin' cool to see how the scene came about and evolved in other places. I grew up around New Haven CT, so i was lucky enough to have Toad's Place, among other gems. The Tune Inn was legendary. I miss those ''5 bands for 5 bux'' days. Great doc.

Sioux Falls got on my radar in the late 90s when there was an explosion of bands playing music that i was heavily into at the time…..spirit of Versailles, exam, caligari, eclipse of Eden, ect….I remember being kinda shocked at how all these bands came out a place where I thought there wasn’t much of anything….then again my own town (Kalamazoo mi) had its own “emo explosion” in the early-mid 90s and sometimes I wonder if someone somewhere else was thinking the same thing about us….

Life and friends flashing before my eyes. Ernie November was the jumping off point for learning where shows were. Hanging out there and looking at records that weren't in the other stores. Best buy was the only other place.

Great documentary!

Madhatter Pub, Nordic Hall, Knights of Columbus, Terrace Park, Pomp Room, Center Stage.. I went to so many shows here in Sioux Falls.. shared the video with my daughter to show her what I did when I was her age. Thank you for the trip down memory lane.

So when the city decided to throw the book at Nordic it was basically the punk rock Footloose, wild!

Loved the Season to Risk posters. My favourite band

Spencer IA thx you Sioux Falls

Always dug on Libido Boyz

It's really a great documentary man, congratz! Yo, what's the name of the tune that played at the minute 59:00?

Nice work Brian!

Billie joe shared this video in his story and he got me here

Shout out nuttys north

the diy punk scene of the eighties made their own records

I’m here because Billie Joe Armstrong told me to watch this video

Whats the song at 28 minutes ? Edit Fuck it, Pin the entire track list please :)

I live in a village near a small town that had a ton of shitty bands but that was everything i wanted and needed. I feel nostalgic watching this great film. I am 56 now but i still go to gigs, i don't mind if the band is D.R.I. (they played a month or so ago) or MENTALNI NERED (i'm from Croatia)
