Doc ‘n Roll Festival screening End of the century: The Ramones
16 JUN
Rio Cinema, Dalston
Show cinema ticket for free entry to the after-party at Birthdays, 33-35 Stoke Newington Rd, N16 8BJ.
The Ramones´ first UK gigs took place at the Roundhouse and Dingwalls in July 1976. Among the audience were members of The Damned, The Sex Pistols, The Clash, Chrissie Hynde and Vic Godard. These electrifying performances would mark a turning point in the fledgling UK punk scene.
This seminal documentary depicts every rise, fall and petty squabble they had, and features interviews with all the Ramones plus Debbie Harry, Joe Strummer (in his last interview), Eddie Vedder, Linda Stein and many others.
To celebrate 40 years since these raucous New Yorkers exploded onto a drab and tedious rock scene, The Ramonas will be performing at Birthdays for a free after-party.
As the name suggests they are a kick-ass all female tribute to the iconic Punk Rock band.
