Tartan Films are proud to announce to the release of Ramones: End Of The Century on January 7th 2005
WINNER Best Debut Feature Raindance 2004
In 1974, the New York City music scene was shocked into consciousness by the violently new and raw sound of a band of misfits from Queens called the Ramones. Playing in a seedy Bowery bar to a small group of fellow struggling
musicians, the band struck a chord of disharmony that rocked the foundation of the mid-seventies music scene. This quartet of unlikely rock stars travelled across the country and around the world connecting with the disenfranchised everywhere, while
sparking a movement that would resonate with two generations of outcasts across the globe. Although the band never reached the top of the Billboard charts, they managed to endure in face of fleeting success and crushing interpersonal conflicts by
maintaining a rigorous
touring schedule for twenty-two years. Tracing the history of the band, from its unlikely origins, through its star-crossed career, bitter demise and the sad fates of Joey and Dee
Dee, Ramones: End of the Century is a vibrant, candid document of one of the most influential groups in the history of rock.
