When Punkervision started, their aim was to create DVD's people could relate to. Music DVD's, of bands people wanted to hear... high quality full bootleg style recordings of gigs, with great sound and great video quality. Thus, Englands Captain Everything, skate punk beatniks proved to be a quality example of their work.
This DVD is a live recording of the 31st January 2004 Captain Everything / Divit / Belvedere show at the London Camden Underworld. Each band plays atleast 9 tracks, but headliners Captain Everything steal the show with a punktastic set including songs everyone should hear, such as I'd Rather Have a Full Bottle In Front of Me Than A Full Frontal Lobotomy! Say that after a few beers!
Recorded from the pit, this DVD encaptures the true punk rock gig atmosphere and includes some profanity, stage invasions and various beard related anecdotes from the band. Worrying? Indeed!
For those that don't know who Captain Everything are... here's a little bio for you. Formed in 1998, Captain Everything emerged onto the London skate punk scene with a bang and have, although never made it huge, gained a ridiculously large underground following and have sealed their own fates thanks to such feats as recording 5 rapid fire poppy skate songs during their first rehearsal.
They've toured the UK with bands such as Capdown and The Vandals, and in 2004 toured Canada. Who knows what 2005 will bring!
So if you're a skate punk fan, do yourself a favour and pick up this DVD in the TeenSpot shop! This is the only way to really experience the thrill of a punk rock show in your own living room.
