Synopsis

I WAS A TEENAGE GUITARIST FOR THE CLASH! © the documentary film is based on the DIY book by Kathy DiTondo and Keith Levene published in 2014. This book with artistic custom cover was completely pulled off DIY from concept through marketing through finance through product development through post production through distribution and provided a main funding source for the completed PiL album called Commercial Zone 2014.
The book recalls the DIY British music/art/design/cultural/political revolution that began in streets of West London and went global in 1976 as told to Kathy DiTondo by Keith Levene, founder member of "the only band that matters" - the Clash.. The Clash along with the Sex Pitols were the two major bands on the West London scene.
