Tramps!
They called them the New Romantics, though it wasn’t a name they would have chosen for themselves. You may think of them first and foremost in terms of the music they inspired, but behind all that was a collection of artists who congregated around the Blitz club in London’s Covent Garden and collaborated in many different ways for years before they really gained public recognition. Contrary to popular expectations at the time, may of them are still working as artists today. Kevin Hegge’s documentary, Tramps!, sets out to tell their story. I met up with Kevin when it was screening as part of Inside Out 2022 and asked how he, as a Canadian, came to be interested in the subject.

It has been marketed as a documentary about the New Romantics, though most of those involved did not associate themselves with that term, and it significantly predates the synth pop associated with that movement. You won’t find big stars here, or even well known tunes – Matthew Sims and Verity Susman have provided it with an entirely new electronic score – as director Kevin Hegge instead focuses on the artists whose work underlay the movement, exploring the substance behind the style.
As a result of this approach, what could have been just another exercise in nostalgia instead emerges as a valuable picture of a grassroots creative movement which emerged as a counterpoint to the nihilism of punk (though with some overlap) and enabled talented individuals to flourish like flowers in asphalt. It wasn’t unique, of course – such individuals occur from time to time all over the world – but it...
