I was involved in the Orange County punk scene in the 1980s. We heard the name Birthday Party but really never heard ABOUT them or their music. It wasn't until Nick Cave formed The Bad Seeds that he and his band became famous over here in the U. S.
There is GREAT RARE footage of old Birthday Party shows, Nick's early bands and cool animated drawings that tell their story. My one complaint is that while it was great that they interviewed all the band, they rarely identified who was speaking when showing clips, etc. I recognized Nick Cave's voice but the others all just blended in together.
Definitely recommend this movie if you are a Cave fan or a fan of early punk in general!
