A fantastic documentary short on unlicensed music venues in Baltimore. Video after the jump.

This is fucking awesome. And the kid who made this is only... 15? what?
I just bought a barber's clipper and see opportunity for practice here. Pleased to see that there are standards of behavior here, and disappointed but not surprised to see that some fools do not recognize them. Hmm, I liked the music, scary.
way to go Nicky. the look is 100% better than your others. is this being filmed at the Senator?
pst, "filmed"? I meant 'screened'
Cool black and white feature, and good documentary on local venues, I've never been to one myself, but I might just have to after seeing this.
Excellent video. I've been to a ton of illegal shows in L.A., sometimes pretty scary when the crowd gets out of control, but usually very cool. Cops break up the shows a lot, but then the band moves on, within a couple of hours, to another abandoned warehouse.
Yeah, this'll be screened at the Senator on the morning of October 26 in radically attenuated form (about 11 minutes as opposed to almost 17).
