Classic DVD Review: Electric Frankenstein | Camden Underworld, London

The old-school New York punks unleash an hour of destructive guitar rawk.

This came out in 2003 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):

 


THE MAIN EVENT: Old-school New York punks Electric Frankenstein are a long way from being a household name, but that doesn’t stop them being monsters of rock.

See for yourself as the boys unleash their destructive brand of guitar-rawk — think The Stooges and MC5 crossed with The Dictators and Dead Boys — on this hour-long live gig filmed in London in 2000.

EXTRAS! EXTRAS! In true DIY fashion, there’s a five-minute interview with guitarist Sal Canzonieri — as he tends the band’s pre-show merch table.

AW, SKIP IT: If you know what’s good for you, you won’t even think about reaching for the remote, bub.
