Death in June

Live in New York Death in June

NTSC/Region 0. This beautiful and unique documentary piece, recorded at the Walker Stage in New York City on November 10, 2002, is a career-spanning collection of 30 tracks, each receiving definitive a live performance in DIJ’s more recent stripped-down acoustic arrangements. Evolving from the seminal political-punk band Crisis in the early 80s, Death in June has been the vehicle for Douglas P. to create a unique fusion of electronics, martial drumming, and esoteric lyrics and visual symbolism. His work has spawned a new musical genre of its own, which some have called 'neo-folk.' Along the way, he has collaborated with most of the influential artists in the industrial, neo-folk and experimental/noise scenes, including Boyd Rice, Rose McDowall, John Balance and Michael Cashmore. While this disc will help the uninitiated to catch-up with one of the most important musical voices performing today, fans will appreciate that this DVD memorializes a concert that was nearly 21 years to the day that the band made its live debut, opening for The Birthday Party in London. The intimate setting allows Douglas P. to interact directly with the audience, taking spontaneous requests from fans and providing charming background stories for each song: which one was written while sleeping on David Tibet’s library floor, or which one actually knocked the Rolling Stones off the British charts.
