MC5: KICK OUT THE JAMS [IMPORT]

Details

• Release Year: 1999
• Genre: Music
• Plot: To be sure, Detroit's MC5 were some bad mofos. With their hard-edged take on psychedelia, radical politics and personal liberation, the Five's cultural vibrations were so profound they're still being felt today. Conceptual artist and Destroy All Monters co-founder Cary Loren has assembled rare late-1960s film footage of the band shot by Leni Sinclair into a swirling psychedelic art piece. This film fetures much never-before-seen footage of the MC5 during the peak of the band's creativity, with audio performances selected to complement the visuals. The result is an exploding kaleidoscopic mind-trip filled with sparkling surrealism that cuts to the heart of the musical-mystical-political-chemical nexus of the MC5 experience (which Norman Mailer referred to as the 'electro-mechanical climax of the age').; ; Looking At You; Ramblin' Rose; Kick Out The Jams; Black to Comm; I Want You Right Now; Rocket Reducer No. 62 (Rama Lama Fa Fa Fa); The Pledge Song; Come Together; Starship; Motor City Is Burning; Shakin' Street
