Cult director David Markey has been making films and music videos for over 25 years, collaborating with bands such as Sonic Youth, Nirvana, Black Flag and the Meat Puppets as well as visual artists like Raymond Pettibon and Cameron Jamie.
His extensive body of work includes the music documentary 1991: The Year Punk Broke - the acclaimed film about the Sonic Youth/Nirvana 1991 European tour, which also features Dinosaur Jr, Babes In Toyland, Gumball and The Ramones.
The Desperate Cinema Touring Programme showcases a range of his work including the yet to be released music documentary, (This Is Known As) The Blues Scale, a 40 minute postscript to 1991: The Year Punk Broke that has been cut from outtakes of the original footage and features previously unseen performance and off stage material.
