## Resource

My guests this week are two absolute legends,  Jackie Sharp  and  Jill Hoffman-Kowal  of the punk rock video team  Target Video  (who documented hundreds of incredible live performances by  Iggy Pop, The Screamers, Black Flag, Throbbing Gristle, minutemen, The Cramps, Hüsker Dü, Survival Research Laboratories, Bauhaus, Dead Kennedys ,  Lydia Lunch, and Young Marble Giants  to name just a few). They are lifelong friends to this day… so get ready for jaw-dropping stories galore! We discuss Target Video’s origin story & meeting head honcho Joe Rees, how they got their first old-school video camera at the time, Joe's unusual approach to documenting bands, the origin story of T he Mutants , their initial cable TV show, how their first color shoot was filming the iconic performance of  The Screamers , how they shot  The Cramps at the Napa State Mental Hospital ,  Glenn O’Brien’s TV Party ,  Jello Biafra  staying in fancy hotel rooms in the UK, crashing on the floor of  The Members ,  The Stray Cats  playing the UK for the first time, how Jackie and Jill gained the trust of bands to film them in an era when bands were suspicious of being filmed, how the SF punk scene changed when  Circle Jerks  first came up from LA to play there, using fake addresses to keep the cops away from the Target headquarters, having eight-hour viewing parties in Paris, touring Europe with  Dead Kennedys , the powerful footage of  Throbbing Gristle  playing a basketball court,  CRIME  playing San Quentin,  Black Flag  being nerds in the studio and making comedy videos with Target, shooting the  TV PARTY  music video, Target documenting rarely seen tours…
