The Go-Go's
Self - The Specials (archive footage)
A banda californiana The Go-Go’s surgiu no exato momento em que o punk se misturava com a new wave e destilaram o melhor dos dois mundos: canções simples e pegajosas, cores vivas e atitude irreverente. Em pouco tempo, estavam dividindo palco com grandes nomes da cena californiana. Mas dos bares de Sunset Strip até o primeiro Rock in Rio muita coisa aconteceu. Muita mesmo!

Himself
Rocksteady to both a visual and musical documentary of the big shot's of the English 2-Tone movement of the late 1970s that has the exhaustive, high-energy performances exploding onto stage.

No longer on your radio but now on stage, together, with the likes of Madness, The Specials and The Beat et al, this concert footage of an era is a must-see, rare and fascinating look into a once vibrant youth culture of working-class England and its musical dance craze
