WASHINGTON – Many underground movements toil with no publicity and eventually fizzle.
Filmmakers in New Haven, Conn. made a documentary about the late 1970s, early 1980s punk scene called “It Happened But Nobody Noticed.”
“New Haven was always considered ‘little New York,'” says film director and writer Jerry Lombardo.
“Plays would come into New Haven, and if it could play in New Haven, it could play on Broadway. The same thing spilled over with punk music.”
New Haven, home to Yale University, sprouted an underground music scene, featuring punk and new wave bands at hole-in-the-wall clubs like Ron’s Place.
