This month I’m posting something a little different @ KINODV. A Punk Fashion Show shot in Boston in 1982 at the SPIT Club on Lansdown Street.
The imagery is set to the New Order tune “Confusion” from the Blade Soundtrack. This is definitely worth a look:

Part of that whole scene was the 2 Tone Ska music revival. You hit the clubs and you were guaranteed to hear “Twist and Crawl” or “Mirror in the Bathroom” With that in mind I have also posted The Beat, or if you care, The English Beat with a live version of “Mirror in the Bathroom” from the movie “Dance Craze” 1981:
