The Dream Syndicate:  'Weathered & Torn' DVD

back to SPIN

Dream Syndicate is necessarily at the foundation of contemporary alternative music, because at the time when most bands were experimenting with new technology, the Syndicate brought back the 6-string. Live, they had developed into an assaultive guitar band prone to jamming which helped earn them the tag as leaders of L.A.'s Paisley Underground movement. 

The Weathered & Torn DVD reissue features the songs "John Coltrane Stereo Blues", "Now I Ride Alone", "The Side I'll Never Show" and more. Originated on 16mm film, stylistically reminiscent of D.A. Pennebaker's "Don't Look Back", a classic "road film"! 

Features include a photo gallery; Approx. 65:00 mins
