Born Innocent: The Redd Kross Story

Q&A with Jeff MacDonald & director Andrew Reich, moderated by ever the Imperial Teen, Jone Stebbins(!), after the 2/26 show.

Co-Presented by Amoeba Music

Formed in 1978 by brothers Jeff and Steve McDonald, and still actively playing and recording today, Redd Kross are the ultimate rock and roll lifers. They have influenced independent music in ways that beg to be acknowledged. From helping invent Beach Punk to influencing the Grunge and Glam Metal movements, Redd Kross have maintained the highest level of musical integrity, originality and quality for over forty years. Born Innocent will introduce a wider audience to two of the coolest people alive. The McDonald Brothers embody Southern California, rock and roll, and what it means to be an artist.

Redd Kross is a genre unto itself, and unto which, members of Sonic Youth, L7, Black Flag, Melvins and Sebadoh profess undying love. Featuring: Jeff McDonald, Steve McDonald, Kim Gordon, Thurston Moore, Mark Arm, Lou Barlow, Keith Morris, Donita Sparks, Jennifer Finch, Buzz Osborne, Dale Crover.

This film is part of SF Music Week. SF Music Week is presented by NoisePop, SFLive, and SFOEWD. The citywide, week long celebration was made possible by a grant from the Office of Mayor Daniel Lurie and SFOEWD.
