i WOULD'NT SAY LOS SAICOS INVENTED PUNK , BUT , THAT DOES'NT TAKE AWAY FROM THE FACT THAT THEY RECORDED AND PERFORMED SOME OF THE MOST DEMENTED SOUNDS ON EARTH UP TO THAT POINT.   BUT , THERE WERE A LOT OF TALENTED BANDS IN PERU DURING THE GARAGE-EARLY PSYCH PERIODS , THAT CUT SOME PRETTY CRAZY SOUNDS. SOUTH AMERICA AS A WHOLE AND MEXICO , TOO.

I bought Los Saicos' 10" reissue in '99 , and , later , the CD , because I found it cheap , and it had a few extra tracks.

These documentaries and revisionist views of who invented punk (Death, Los Saicos) are just so much PR and enthusiasm from fans. Which is fine, but as John says above it doesn't matter - they were great bands, especially Los Saicos. Forget the hype - enjoy the music. And get ready for the Seeds doc. Now, there's a great, great band with no relation to punk and no one cares.

If it's a good film , with footage we've never seen , I'll always check out one of those rockumentaries on artists that , even after they've reformed , toured ,  been in major TV commercials , and had Henry Rollins claim to have discovered them , like the monks , they remain cult heroes . The Death film was VERY good , I thought , despite the obvious lack of period footage. It brought real emotion. I saw the Source Family /Ya Ho Wa 13 film , too. I thought it was very good , too. Let's face it , it's not a story either of us could have made up. Unfortunately , Sky Saxon is barely a footnote in the movie (or the book)  , but , yes , The Seeds are finally getting their due , with a full length documentary film to complement the amazing CD reissues. Still curious to see and hear how "Raw and Alive" turns out.

I really enjoyed the Death doc as well although I'm not nearly as smitten with their music as I am with Los Saicos'. BTW, the best music doc out there to me is still Beware of Mr. Baker, one of the funniest, most outlandish docs I've ever seen. I gained new respect for Ginger Baker's talent, and even if his personal life has been a mess, I couldn't help admire the guy.

That was cool I didn't know thier history. Thanks for posting
