A band called 'Death' was punk before punk was punk

Formed in November 1971 by the 3 Hackney brothers, they were influential pioneers of the genre and, along with Pure Hell, the first all-black proto-punk/punk band.

Is he wearing a t-shirt for the 70s-era protopunk band from Detroit? Or is there another band called Death?
Fox: Why are you here this morning?

Trump rally attendee: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here. There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front.

MC5, alongside Iggy & The Stooges, was one of the most important precursors of punk. Their live-recorded debut Kick Out the Jams (1969) was captured #otd October 30th and 31st, 1968 at Detroit’s Grande Ballroom.

Good, but a different "Death", not the 90s death metal band but a 70s protopunk band

The just one died last year, IIRC. That just leaves Iggy as the last man standing in Detroit protopunk.

I'm sad
But I won't
She cracked
I'm hurt
You're right"

This is a 2020 limited ed
I first met the MC5 in the late '60s
A friend I used to go to Plymouth's Van Dike club with until we left for college around '72, had a collection of imported and pirated records I could only dream of...
So I first heard this nearly 60 years ago
