"Sir Drone"

"A new Beatles film about the new Beatles"

For purchase Here;

"sir drone"
written, directed and produced by raymond pettibon.
mr. pettibon is the renown los angeles artist whose singular pen and ink style has prompted double-takes since the mid-seventies. his films explore at length themes those familiar with his art will recognize.
starring mike watt, mike kelley, raymond pettibon, joe cole, crane, chris wilder, angela taffe, and richie lee.

pettibon presents the early days of los angeles punk rock not as simple metaphor for the human condition, but as a singular attempt to break the organic chain of metaphysical fate. there and then and forever after, music was to be no longer music. hippies were to be no longer hippies. everything was instead to be punk. but punk as an end - a squelching of artistic attempt. more, a transcendence of artistic statement itself, by starting with human material that is entirely artless - punk!
