Back in 1984 David Travis was capturing Los Angeles punk rock on video. He took hundreds of hours of L.A. shows and did tons of interviews. In this video A History Lesson Part 1, footage from 1984 is presented and it includes the likes of Meat Puppets, Minutemen, Twisted Roots and Redd Kross. Interviews with each group are also included.
Travis is an L.A. native whose dad worked in television. When he was 15 Dad gave him an old video camera. He documented punk rock in L.A. until 1997 (he also worked on videos for bands and other projects). Travis became a teacher for a decade and then began digitizing his old footage. This is the first video from the archive.
