Germs Live '79 @ Capitol Theater


After the 9pm screening of "What We do is Secret" (the feature film that dramatically chronicles the formation and short life of the Germs) on Wed Dec 10th @11pm the real Germs will take over for an ultra rare screening of their December 1979 concert at the Whiskey A Go Go. The Band is at their hardcore punk pinnacle, ripping through almost thier whole catalog at breakneck speed and playing songs so new at the time that Darby reads from a lyric sheet before setting it on fire and eating it. One can't help but feel like they are watching a modern day Arthur Rimbaud as we witness the drugged-out, violent poetry of Darby and his band. Other Germs footage and interviews will also be screened. All proceed from this late show will go towards a new 35mm projector for O.F.S..
