Jay’s Longhorn (Mark Engebretson, 2019, USA, 93 min.) – introduced by Fred Hagstrom, Q&A with director Mark Engebretson and Dick Champ (NNB)
The documentary film, Jay’s Longhorn, explores the former Minneapolis nightclub called Jay’s Longhorn, which was opened June 1, 1977 by owner Jay Berine and his friend and booker, Al Wodtke. […] Almost overnight, Jay’s Longhorn became the epicenter for punk rock and indie rock in Minneapolis and began attracting international touring acts, such as Elvis Costello, Blondie, Talking Heads, The B-52’s, and the Police. Early local bands included Flamingo, seminal punk rockers the Suicide Commandos, Curt Almstead and Thumbs Up, Fingerprints, the Suburbs, NNB, the Hypstrz, and later Husker Du, the Wallets, and the Replacements.
