MVD Entertainment Group looks to the post-Labor Day
period for the company’s first September Blu-ray release with this past week’s
announcement that Friday, Sept. 11, will be the street date for award-winning
editor Marco Porsia’s first feature-length documentary, Where
Does a Body End?
This intimated look at the tumultuous
four-decade-long history of Michael Gira and his rock group, Swans, will be arriving as a Blu-ray presentation, packed with loads and loads of extras on a companion
DVD.
Where Does a Body End? takes
a look at the early years, beginning with Gira, Swans and the New York City’s no wave music and “artist” culture of
the late 1970s. Some might call it
“rock noise” — rebellious and unstructured — which sort of begs the question,
how did the Swans create a generational fan base when basically their music
started out in your face, basically telling you to go “F*#@ yourself.
They have survived, grown, mutated and Porsia uses
interviews — both current and archival — plus vintage footage (underground),
with a blend of newly-minted concert performances to tell their story.
The entire companion DVD disc comes packed with 156
minutes worth of bonus goodies … fans of Swans will not be disappointed.
