Robot Academy Films, an independent production company set up by two 22 year old Australian's are currently in production for a film on the 90's punk rock explosion titled One Nine Nine Four.
The documentary which is set to be a full length feature documents the birth, growth and explosion of punk rock in the 90's and features interviews with bands such as NOFX, the Offspring, Blink 182, Rancid, Bad Religion, Lagwagon and many more.
The 2 film makers have been residing in Los Angeles since January shooting interviews and collecting archival footage before returning to Australia this month to start editing. The film will be narrated by Tony Hawk and is yet to have distribution or a release date but will hit the festival circuit in 2008.
A very rough teaser trailer featuring Fat Mike, Green Day, Rancid, Scott Russo is available online.

Warped, after finishing off the 80's era Greg mentioned how they were moving through their "pre-adolescent years" and later how it was difficult to stay alive during the grunge years because punk rock wasn't that popular. He made a joke to Brett about how recipe for hate was written to celebrate the 400 hundredth anniversary of Columbus sailing to America, ha ha. Then he completely skipped over NS and NA without even a mention. My favorite part was during the encore: Greg came out and said that their memory must be fading with old age because they weren't done chronologically because they have a new album coming out. Thats about all I remember but there was more dialogue that is escaping me right now.

SMCC:"I enjoyed Greg's commentary as they moved through the ages of their lives."
Could you give any examples, please? Would be awesome! |

Thanx anyway for the videos on youtube!

"Heroes and Martyrs sounded very Process of Belief-ish"
This news makes me happy. |
|
04/08/2007 at 19:31
Idiots, that's who.
However, I have trouble distinguishing even what part of the song they're on in these videos so maybe it's for the best. F5 F5 F5 I need an mp3. ;_; |
|
04/08/2007 at 19:25
Man, who records No Control, Infected, and American Jesus when the band plays a new song that no one has heard before and Slaves, a song they haven't played in like 15 years?

04/08/2007 at 09:55
I've seen my share of crappy videos but those two are really something... Please someone tell me that you have a proper recording of this show!

04/08/2007 at 03:07
I sent news in like 3 days ago, what's the deal =\
|
|
04/08/2007 at 03:01
Heroes and Martyrs? Um... I need, to uh, um, who recorded it? WHO?
|
|
04/08/2007 at 00:20

Banjo can you give out the myspace video links to you and no control i don't care if it's bad quality
|

100% sure they played slaves first because I started freaking out when it started. "were all slaves under stricter masters" I enjoyed Greg's commentary as they moved through the ages of their lives. Poor Sue though because her mic had no vocals and I couldn't hear her sing at all. And Optim, there were only six on stage, I don't know who the seventh was.
|
|
04/07/2007 at 22:18
Anyone else crossing their fingers for live performances of The Positive Aspect, Don't Pray On Me, Walk Away, Victory, Live Again and Chimaera sometime in the near future?
Oh, and look at Sue's Myspace. According to that (In her Lastfm bit), she's been listening to Heroes and Marytrs quite a bit recently.  Maybe it's been mixed? |
|
04/07/2007 at 21:57
Slaves! Wow. If they did indeed play that, that gives me so much hope that maybe one day they'll play some others they seem to have forgotten about.

MP3!!!!

Maybe you guys are right about Slaves, I just missed what it was because I kept thinking about how much the audio sucked... I was over on the Baker side, and could barely tell that Brett's mic was even on.
Yes, Brett was there, he rocked. I also expected Broken in there, just seemed like it would fit in right there. I think it was Su who did the rap (which I couldn't hear because she used Brett's mic, which I wasn't even sure was on.) She works for Epitaph, and she did the same thing when they played at the Canyon Club in the fall of '05. Heroes and Martyrs sounded very Process of Belief-ish. I can't wait to hear the rest of the new stuff. |
|
04/07/2007 at 19:35
Was Brett there?
|
|
04/07/2007 at 19:30
Cool.
It sounds like Sue. She's done it for them a few times. Someone uploaded vids of You and No Control onto myspace's video hosting thing from the concert, but it's really bad quality. |
|
04/07/2007 at 18:42
Did they really play Heroes and Martyrs?
If so, what was it like? |
|
04/07/2007 at 18:25
I don't think it was Slaves, unless I seriously missed something... They did We're Only Gonna Die, Fuck Armageddon and Along The Way. I was kind of surprised that they didn't do Struck a Nerve, and only did 2 songs from TESF - I half expected Atheist Peace or Sinister Rouge.
It was a pretty cool show, but the audio really sucked. |
|
04/07/2007 at 14:51
mp3. Nao.
|
|
04/07/2007 at 12:47
Wait!
They played slaves? Seriously? OMG, I wish I was there! |
|
04/07/2007 at 12:44
...and where is the MP3?
|
|
04/07/2007 at 12:08
How did the song off the new record sound like? Fast?
|
|
04/07/2007 at 11:57
they played only one song from the new album?!
|
|
04/07/2007 at 09:05
Just got back from the Santa Monica show. They did their whole set chronilogically (starting with "Slaves and ending with "LA is Burning"). They let the crowd chant for about 5 minutes, then they did an encore. They played "Heroes & Martyrs" off the new album and finished with "Sorrow". All in all it was a very good show. My only disappointment was that they played nothing (as usual) off of No Substance or New America. Oh well, I'm not going to complain too much...

04/07/2007 at 08:21
and being that ridiculous about a band you don't like can't be healthy.
|
|
04/07/2007 at 04:27
I repeat,
Blink 182 Sucks! they are not real Punk Rock Band! Yeah, I didn't listen Blink! Its an audio pollution... |
|
04/07/2007 at 01:58
Isn't the healthebay gig starting soon/now?
Will Kroq be streaming it? |

you're talking about 2000. not the 90's. in the grand scheme of things greenday has outsold blink by quite a bit.
|
|
04/07/2007 at 00:28
They were both extremely popular in the mainstream at different parts of the decade. But Green Day by far has been the most consistent. But to show Blink's popularity at the time, remember that Bad Religion opened for them on a three month tour in 1999. BR won't just open for anybody (i hope). And Oasis can suck my ass.
|
|
04/06/2007 at 11:42
Oh and here in Europe in 1995, the biggest band was oasis.
|
|
04/06/2007 at 11:40
to the right click and danny: warning sold half a million copy's in the usa in 2000. And in 1999/2000 blink sold like 4 million copy's of the enema of the state and take off your pants. So at the end of the 90's blink 182 was more popular than green day. And I live in Europe and except for "minority", the other video's from warning were not on tv. And I wore a green day t shirt at school, and almost nobody knew who GD were.."Is that something like blink 182?". So blink was not around in that 1994 offspring/green day punkpop-explosion. But they were on top in the charts here in Europe in the late 90's, early 00's and green day wasn't.

Tommy you showed how young you are. You must not have been a teen in the early 90s and missed how huge Green Day was. Blink was NEVER as huge as Green Day. GD was the biggest band in the world in 94/95. save for U2 and Nirvana GD was the biggest band in the early 90s. Everyone liked em (even me, admittedly). Even people who liked rap music liked Dookie. Blink was only big with the mainstream 14 year old girls who thought they were punk rock.
Doesn't matter. Bad Religion has always been better than these two. |
|
04/06/2007 at 01:53
Blink 182 was NEVER as big as green day was in the 90s. blink's peak never reached green day's peak. of course, green day is now bigger than they EVER were, but dookie was ridiculously popular. insomniac not as much and nimrod more than both combined because of that one god damn song. warning was probably more popular than insomniac, but not much and everybody and their grandparents own american idiot, despite how horrifically shitty it is.

goddamn why does everyone have to complain about the line between pop-punk and punk rock? personally im not a huge fan of pop-punk, but i dont think it really matters... everyone has different musical tastes, and if SP, blink, etc all suck, dont listen to them and shut your mouth. your opinions of music matter to no one but yourself. enough said
|
|
04/05/2007 at 16:14
Blink-182 is a Pop-Punk Band!
Even if They are even bigger than Green Day, its not a real Punk Rock Band for me. And Yeah, Prodigical Son, Simple Plan ruined American Jesus, SP are so fucking suck... lIke Blinky shit... Dead to all Pop-Punk Bands! Simple Plan must die first!!! |
|
04/05/2007 at 14:45
What I want to know is why the hell is Tony Hawk narrating? He's so awkward. I remember seeing a doc on video games that he hosted on tv and he was toatally out of it. I sense a really cheesy documentry coming.
|
|
04/05/2007 at 11:10
I don't like blink 182, but you can't ignore the fact that they where even bigger than green day in the late 90's.
|
|
04/05/2007 at 07:44
Personally i really like Blink 182
|
|
04/05/2007 at 07:28
And why would Rise Against be in a documentary about 90's punk? They didn't form until 99. It's not like they had some huge impact that year either.
|
|
04/05/2007 at 03:46
Prodigal Son, arent you confusing Blink with Simple Plan?
|
|
04/05/2007 at 03:33
What is Blink 182 doing on there? They ruined American Jesus! They should have more punk bands like Pennywise or Rise Against.
|
|
04/04/2007 at 20:05
they did. now we have to kill +44
