Bangkok Beats: From Pop2Punk

Sinopsis Film

In the capital of Thailand, the music-underground is exploding right now. That is what two German film makers found out during a two-month stay in Bangkok in 2003. The film portrays bands (Beargarden, Apartment Khun Ba, Som etc.) and labels (Smallroom, Bama, Panda, Hualampong Riddim) from the indie-scene, visits festivals and shows (Pattaya, NoisePop) and meets media (Fat Radio, Channel V), who support the Bangkok music scene. In interviews the highly creative protagonists of the local scene express their outlook on music, their conditions and what their work is about in their own words. The intention of making this film is to show to Western people what is going on in Thailand on the cultural side.
