On this date in Stefan Sonic history: 1985: what a whirlwind show this was. Newspaper advert and ticket stub still survive to this day. No recording, so I don’t remember the set list, let alone much else, except that when @jello_biafra_gsm came out, he thanked @doapunk for blowing @dead__kennedys off the stage. Facts
Happy to announce that the long awaited documentary, Something Better Change is finally out on DVD and will be streaming on April 7.
This is the story of Joe Keithley, long time activist for human rights and leader of D.O.A. the Godfathers of Hardcore. The doc covers D.O.A’s illustrious history as one on the most influential bands of all time and also goes into great detail about Joe’s activism and eventual election to political office in his hometown of Burnaby, BC, Canada.
Filled with great music and amazing historical footage of D.O.A.‘s extended career and Joe’s journey in politics. Directed by Scott Crawford and produced by Paul Rachman and Joe Keithley.

Attention NYC! My latest documentary “Something Better Change” will be screening at one of my favorite film venues: the Nitehawk Theater in Brooklyn on March 3. We’ve put together a great panel after the film: Jack Rabid, Harley Flanagan, Joe Keithley and I will be answering your questions. I’m really proud of this film about DOA’s Keithley and his career in punk rock activism and eventual local Canadian politics as we follow him through his reelection bid. Hope to see you all there! @realharleyflanagan@joe.keithley@doapunk@nitehawkcinema@realjackrabid

A couple of weeks ago ago I finally got my copy of @charlieharpersubs An Anarchy of Demons and suddenly @joe.keithley of @doapunk showed up. Best selfie so far!
And I got my book signed by Charlie and thanx to his wife, Yuko who held the book for me.
