Glasgow Film Festival Revenge of The Mekons

One of the most provocative and innovative bands of the punk rock generation, The Mekons started in Leeds in 1977 as a group of art students who could barely play their instruments and – despite a career consigned to the margins – have somehow managed to keep touring and making albums today. As the members of the band moved on, got day jobs and even relocated to other continents, they have continued to produce more adventurous and challenging albums. Revenge of The Mekons is the remarkable, inspiring and heartwarming account of a criminally under-recognised group of lively musicians and artists held with cult-like adoration by fans and critics.
