One Punk Summer Skip Rhudy

Years before SXSW and ACL Fest became world renowned music events Austin Texas had a vibrant punk subculture that directly influenced the expansion of the Austin music scene to what it is today. One Punk Summer captures the feel of those early and seminal years before the tech industry and gentrification altered Austin's landscape permanently. The characters have a blast in a still undeveloped Austin discovering punk, partying, leaving home, and scratching out a living with all kinds of comical odd jobs. They create their own world and manage to put a band together, but they also struggle with too much booze and too much dope, alcohol addiction and heroin overdose. But they pull it all together and get a gig at the legendary Raul's Club on Guadalupe Street near UT.
