What happens
SpokAnarchy! is a 2011 documentary film that chronicles the 1980s punk rock scene in Spokane, Washington. Mixing vintage music videos, live clips, and found footage with contemporary interviews, the film portrays what happened when a group of disaffected teenagers from a small, isolated Northwest city embraced the music and fashion of the big-city punk scenes. The interviewees reminisce about their early years as rebels and misfits in a conservative town, and reflect on how their participation in the scene continues to influence their lives as middle-aged adults. Several of the cast have achieved notoriety since the period depicted in the film, including Paul D'Amour, the original bassist for the band Tool, circus sideshow performer Zamora the Torture King, and the creator of Internet meme Keyboard Cat. The film is not credited to a single director, but to the core production team of David W. Halsell, Erica K. Schisler, Jon Swanstrom, Heather Swanstrom, Theresa Halsell, and Cory Wees. SpokAnarchy! is available on DVD, and a soundtrack was released by Flat Field Records featuring musical performances by Sweet Madness, PP-Ku, The Doubtful Nonagenarians, Terror Couple, Strangulon, The Necromancers, S&M, Vampire Lezbos, M’NA M’NA, Social Bondage, TFL, The Moo Cow Orchestra, and Cattle Prod.
