Description

Daniel Makagon explores the culture of DIY spaces like house shows and community-based music spaces, their impact on underground communities and economies, and why these networks matter. He shows that no matter who you are, organizing, playing, and/or attending a DIY punk show is an opportunity to become a real part of a meaningful movement and to create long-lasting alternatives to the top-down economic and artistic practices of the mainstream music industry.

Reviews

Daniel Makagon was there, and he's likely forgotten more about DIY than many of you will ever know. --Adam Pfahler, Jawbreaker
