The Rise and Fall of Black Velvet Flag

---

Three quirky young men (Jeff Musser, Jason Zasky and Fred Stesney)  desire to make a mark in the world of music, while hanging on to remaining simply middle-class. The music of Black Velvet Flag mocked their audience's craving for the nostalgia of punk. But the band resisted conformity while showing us how ex-Punks in a lounge band reconciled the contradictions of their lives, and their generation. (TRT 58:17)
