Discipline DVD

[Rick and Roll]

Hi everybody,

Here's a message from Matthew Parmenter about the long- rumored and unexpectedly to be released DVD.

This is going to be excellent. The 1995 period is the band at their best, and the extras are great.

Discipline may be the most riveting band I've ever seen, led by the awesome Matthew Parmenter.

I recommend this as required purchasing!

Dear Friends...

Sorry to have been so incommunicado. I have been
p-r-a-c-t-i-c-i-n-g.

We've bit the bullet and decided to release this damn DVD after all.Many thanks to Bill Givens at Magnetic Cinema in Southfield, MI. Hedid the DVD authoring for us on the cheap, and did I mention he directed the original '95 show, too? So kudos to him.

For the extras, we chose unreleased tunes rather than repeats of the usual costumery. Paul Dzendzel provided a 1992 show which makes up a good part of the extra bits. Peter Renfro (of ProgDay fame) gave us the later, post-Unfolded stuff. Eyeballs is a highlight, and you should write Peter and thank him for his serendipitous bootlegging.

And for the very curious, we offer up three from a 1988 concert whenthe band were all just toddlers.

Still reading? Here is the blurb from the web site...
