THEY'RE CRASHIN' DOWN REAL HARD

If you have ever heard Redd Kross' "(Legend) Come On Up to Me" from the soundtrack of David Markey's Desperate Teenage Lovedolls, you may be surprised to find out it's a cover. The original was done be Backstage Pass, who some of you may remember as a completely lame early L.A. new wave band. Their original is so bad it's comical, almost like the Shaggs doing new wave.

Markey made Desperate Teenage Lovedolls on Super 8 in the 1984 and followed it up with a sequel, Lovedolls Superstar, in 1986. Both are the lowest of low budget, the first costing a whopping $250 to make. But the soundtracks are great, heavy on the Redd Kross, with contributions by White Flag, Black Flag, Gone, and a bunch of others.
