a tour documentary about black flag (from 1986)

"Reality 86'd" A film by David Markey 


A road documentary shot from the inside of the last Black Flag tour ever (the 1986 "In My Head" US tour.) Greg Ginn along with Henry Rollins, Cel Revulta, and Anthony Martinez comprise the final line up of the band. 


Featuring behind the scenes proceedings and live performances from Black Flag, Painted Willie, and Gone (Ginn's side project, then featuring Sim Cain and Andrew Weiss (later of the Rollins Band). 


Filmmaker / musician David Markey was along for the entire trip as the drummer / singer for Painted Willie (with Phil Newman & Vic Makauskas), documenting the six month tour as it happened.  


A crucial turning point in American underground rock, and the end of the line for a trail blazing American band.


THIS IS A GREAT DOCUMENTARY ABOUT THE 80S DIY PUNK MUSIC SCENE AND TOURING THE USA.....HIGHLY RECOMMENDED......
