Join us for the East Coast premiere of the Dead City Punx documentary!
BEYOND THE STREETS & Jinx Proof Tattoos present DEAD CITY PUNX, a documentary of musical mayhem from Executive Producers Roger Gastman, Joseph Pattisall & Zack de la Rocha, with its East Coast Premiere screening on September 5, 2026, at AFI Silver Theatre in Silver Spring, MD.
The movie follows Dead City Punx, whose massive illegal outdoor shows full of fireworks, fistfights, bonfires, and graffiti pit them against the LAPD, LAFD, and the mayor, ultimately resuscitating LA’s music scene while forcing the viewer to question what DIY and punk really mean.
Born from stolen equipment and street life connections, Dead City Punx — Meka, Grumpy, Mike, and Adrian — built stages for their shows from shoplifted wood, used social media as their “bat signal,” and turned performances into a crime scene complete with graffiti backdrops, bonfires, and police helicopters.
Through fan-filmed concert footage and exclusive interviews, ‘DEAD CITY PUNX’ captures how four outcasts from society’s margins ignited a pandemic-era music movement that challenged definitions of public space, rebellion, and the right to assemble. BEYOND THE STREETS presents the story of Dead City — raw, unfiltered, and as real as their shows.
