Desolation Center is the untold story of Reagan-era guerrilla punk rock desert happenings that are now recognized as inspirations for Burning Man, Lollapalooza and Coachella. Directed by the events’ organizer, Desolation Center is the true story of how the risky, and even reckless, actions of a few outsiders can lead to seismic cultural shifts. Combines interviews and rare performance footage of Sonic Youth, Minutemen, Meat Puppets, Swans, Redd Kross, Einstürzende Neubauten, Survival Research Laboratories, Savage Republic and more.
