SNFU is my favorite band and back in 04 my friends and I travel from detroit to see SNFU for three shows after each show the whole band hang out with us and the day of the last show chi saw us walking in toronto and basically asked if he could tag along with us during so we took him for for food and walk around the city with him. it was probably the coolest weekend of my live. I can't wait for this movie to come out.
I've seen him many times at the karaoke night at Funky's on Hastings in Vancouver, and almost always singing Johnny Cash's version of NIN's "Hurt". I've heard he's cleaning himself up, hope he does. Mad respect for a punk icon!
Saw SNFU in 1988. One of my fist punk shows. Chi was warming up doing these amazing jumps. I couldn't believe this skinny dude springing up from a crouch almost hitting his head on the ceiling. Made quite an impression on me. (As did Shudder to Think, who was er... "headlining" that night.) Lol, I even remember Inspector 12 from Madison played too!
I got a complement by this guy on my dance moves/ mosh skills he directly told me i got some moves.hearing it from a random is one thing but this is coming from a hard af punk rocker.
1984 Greystone, Detroit, MI. One of my first gigs. Went to the record store picked up No One Else Wanted To Play with the little German kid holding a grenade on the cover. Played the heck out of that record and 28+ years later still have it!!! Might give it a listen tonight.
PuckSlappy That photo was taken in NYC by Dianne Arbus, who sued their label to have the album re-pressed without the photo. (I traded a spiked belt for that album in 1987) It's a collector item!
@@SoBayK80 No one got sued. The Stern Brothers found out the band used the pic without permission when the last few boxes of the first pressing were left and told the band the next pressing shouldn't use the actual photo. What followed were three pressings with three different cover illustrations. BYO never heard a peep from the Arbus estate.
i bought this today at free cloud records in Edmonton ( the guy who owns the store is in the movie for a bit). Turns out Chi was in town a while back and signed the outside of a random copy at the store with "fuc my ass- mr.chi pig". no extra charge for it, i just happened to buy it, and it made me fucking stoked. great movie, definatley recomend it.
The only place in the city(Edmonton) to buy a S.N.F.U shirt besides a show was Sound Connection on 124st and Chi would be in there sometimes record shopping and making it known he was there.
Ken is still hanging in there. He has sort of become like HR now but he is still the same old weird and funny Ken. Haven't spoken to him in about 8 months however.
thats awesome ive seen snfu 5 times in the last year we once took a train to go to ottawa n had a fucked up weekend seing snfu twice that same weekend (in montreal the night before) good beers n good punk rock
great docu. what stumps me is how a bunch of kids got their foot into "Tracks Records" recording studio for their debut in Los Angeles which was bought up by Paramount Corp Co "Hollywood"... check out all the other bands that recorded there, practically 99% of them were Bloodline Military brats deployed into the music "scenes"... somethin's fishy (don't swear or you'll catch none) cuzz the original info on the studio on wiki is SCRUBBED. Nonetheless, great memories shredding to their early albums on the west coast canada...
@teslasphere ...lol, okay...what are they then? They were certainly considered hardcore punk back in my day....most old guys like myself (40 yrs this years...yikes), remember them as hardcore punk.
