REVENGE OF THE MEKONS chronicles the unlikely career of the genre-defying collective
notorious for being?as rock critic Greil Marcus notes??the band that took punk ideology most
seriously.? Born out of the 1977 British punk scene, the Mekons progressed from a group of
socialist art students with no musical skills to the prolific, raucous progeny of Hank Williams. Joe
Angio?s exuberant documentary follows their improbable history ? a surprising and influential
embrace of folk and country music; forays into the art world (collaborations with Vito Acconci and
Kathy Acker); and consistent bad luck with major record labels. Among the celebrated fans who
appear on screen to testify to the power of their music and artistic innovations are authors
Jonathan Franzen (The Corrections) and Luc Sante (Low Life), musician/actor Will Oldham, film
director Mary Harron (I SHOT ANDY WARHOL), comedian/ musician Fred Armisen (Portlandia),
and critic Greil Marcus (Mystery Train). REVENGE OF THE MEKONS reveals how, four decades
into an ever-evolving career, punk?s reigning contrarians continue to make bold, unpredictable
music while staying true to the punk ethos.
